Fire Resistance Testing

At BSRL, we are serving industries such as construction, furniture, marine, and rail. We specialize in testing passive fire protection products, including fire doors, structural steelwork protection, fire stopping products, and large-scale cladding testing. Our services offer independent, locally accredited fire resistance testing for both commercial and residential buildings. We conduct testing in accordance with British, European, and International standards

What is Fire Resistance Testing?
Fire resistance is determined through destructive fire testing, designed to simulate the product’s real-world use. The specimen to be tested is incorporated into an appropriate supporting structure within a restraint frame and placed in front of a furnace. The temperature within the furnace is controlled according to an internationally recognized time/temperature regime.
