REACTION TO FIRE TESTING AND CERTIFICATION

We are a leading player in product certification, with 30 years of experience in the field of fire resistance test. We do not sell tests, but certify and qualify materials and products, providing our customers with comprehensive assistance.
You can attend experimental fire resistance test on your product; our qualified engineers and technicians will help you with development and certification procedures.

Careful handling and updating of equipment, our staff’s membership in NB-CPR SH02, EGOLF, UNI and MED technical teams, ACCREDIA accreditation and our regular participation in interlaboratory comparisons are an additional guarantee of the quality of the service offered.

Reaction to fire testing: all the cases

Our fire resistance test reports are valid:

for certification in the Middle East, as we are the only Italian laboratory approved by the UAE Civil Defence;
for CE marking pursuant to Regulation 305/2011 (CPR);
for shipping and MED certification;
for Italian Fire Prevention Certification pursuant to Ministerial Decree dated 26/06/84 as amended and supplemented.
