Eurofins Spectro offers national and international standards (BS 476-22, BS 476 part 20, ASTM E119, and others.) compliant state-of-the-art fire testing services. Our lab is fully equipped with advanced fire testing instruments and can perform tests on a wide range of fire-prone goods such as fire extinguishers, cables, fire doors, and more.

We perform all fire safety tests under one roof with industry leading accuracy and reliability.

Objective of Fire Resistance Testing

The objective for these new tests is to enhance structural performance so that uncontrolled building fire results in burnout without fractional or complete breakdown. Moreover, these fire measurement technologies would be able to improve the ignition resistant materials, fire growth, and formation of toxic gases, surface flammability that could be life saving and reducing the high cost as well.

What services do we provide for that category?

We offer a range of fire testing services for all type of doors and shutters (IS 3614), Fire Tests of Building Construction and Materials for Surface Burning Characteristics, Fire Propagation Index, Flame Spread Testing. We offer a range of fire testing services for Railways Products also (EN 45545-2), Heat Release Rate (ISO 5660), Smoke Density & Toxicity (ISO 5659), Lateral Flame Spread (ISO 5658), Reaction to Fire Test for Floorings (ISO 9239), Limited Oxygen Index (ISO 4589).

Special Fire Testing Facilities

We offer a range of fire testing services, including Non-Combustibility Testing, Surface Burning Characteristics of Building Materials (ASTM E- 84 by Steiner Tunnel), Fire Tests of Building Construction and Materials (ASTM E 119), Fire Tests on Railway products (EN 45545-2), Fire Tests on Lift Landing Doors (EN 81-58, IS 17518 Part 2).

Non Combustibility Testing

This test determines whether or not a material contributes to the fire, subjecting it to a controlled heating and measuring certain parameters such as the initial temperature, maximum and final, the time required to increase the temperature, the total time of combustion of the product (EN ISO 1182) EN ISO 1182, IMO FTPC Part 1, ASTM E 2652.

Surface Burning Characteristics of Building Materials (ASTM E- 84 by Steiner Tunnel)

This test method applies to the exposed surface which includes ceiling or walls, provided that the materials or the whole assembly, with its own structural quality or the aspect in which is tested and intended to use is able to support itself in position or being supported during the period of test. The method is used to determine the corresponding burning behavior of the material by observing the flame spread along the test specimen. Reports are made for the flame spread and smoke density developed and it is not necessarily a relationship between the two measurements.

Fire Tests of Building Construction and Materials (ASTM E 119)

This test is applicable to the assemblies of columns, floors, walls, composite assemblies and the masonry units of the structural materials for buildings. It also includes walls, partitions, columns, girders, beams, slabs, floors, roofs, etc. The structural units that constitute permanent integral parts of a finished building are also included. This Test measures and describes the response of materials, assemblies or products to heat and flame under controlled conditions, however it does not incorporate all the factors required for fire hazard or fire risk assessment of the materials under actual fire conditions.

Fire Tests on Safes (IS: 550 Part-3)

This standard (Part 3) lays down the methods of test for assessing the fire resistance capacity of the safes. The tests which are conducted according to these requirements are intended to demonstrate the performance of equipment during the exposure of fire but are not intended to determine the acceptability for using after fire exposure.

Test of Dry Chemical for Fighting Class B & C Fire

The dry powder is composed of basic material of eutectic chlorides, ammonium phosphate, sodium chloride, diammonium phosphate or a mixture of sodium chloride with ammonium phosphate along with the additives to make it water repellant, free flowing and conforming to several requirements mentioned in the standard.
