Warringtonfire Warrington Expertise

Fire Resistance

Our Warrington experts determine a product's fire resistance through destructive fire testing, replicating its intended end-use. Our testing spans the construction, marine, and rail sectors and is conducted to British, European, and International standards, in line with CE, UKCA, and UKNI marking.

Reaction to Fire

Our Warrington laboratory is a hub of reaction to fire testing expertise. We determine the flammability, smoke density and toxicity performance of materials, conducting tests on specific components or materials that are representative of their end-use application. This comprehensive testing is not limited to a single sector, but spans a wide range of industries, from construction to rail.

Certification

Our Warrington certification specialists offer UKAS-accredited certification for products and personnel. Our experts collaborate with clients across specialist industry sectors and with specifiers, regulators, and enforcement authorities to help set the benchmark for fire protection, safety, and security.
