Fire Resistance Testing

Warringtonfire is a global leader in fire resistance testing for construction, furniture, marine and rail sectors and specialize in testing passive fire protection products including fire doors, structural steelwork protection, fire stopping products and large-scale testing of cladding.

We offer independent, locally accredited fire resistance testing services for passive fire protection products for both commercial and domestic building types. Our fire resistance testing is done to British, European and international standards, in line with CE marking, UKCA and UKNI marking, and third-party certification.

We undertake this fire resistance testing from our UKAS-accredited testing facility in Birchwood Park and our BELAC-accredited testing facility in Gent.

What is Fire Resistance Testing?

Fire resistance can be determined through destructive fire testing, designed to replicate the product’s intended end-use. The specimen to be tested is built into an appropriate supporting construction within a restraint frame and mounted onto a front of a furnace. The temperature within the furnace is controlled according to an internationally accepted time/temperature regime.

Our fire resistance testing includes the following products: building materials, doors and shutter assemblies, ducts, dampers, cable trays, floors, glazing, pipes and penetrations, intumescent paint, intumescent seals, load bearing and non-load bearing elements, suspended ceilings, walls and partitions.
