Construction Fire Testing

Welcome To Ignito Labs

As a construction professional, ensuring the safety of your building is a top priority. One crucial aspect of safety is fire resistance. Ignito Labs offers comprehensive construction fire testing services to help you meet safety standards and regulations.
Our construction fire testing methods comply with industry standards such as ASTM, ISO, and NFPA. We offer a range of tests to ensure that your building materials and systems meet the necessary fire safety standards. Below are some of the construction fire testing methods available at Ignito Labs:

ISO 5660-1: Reaction to fire tests – Heat release, smoke production, and mass loss rate – Part 1: Heat release rate (cone calorimeter method): This test evaluates the heat release rate of building materials under controlled conditions using a cone calorimeter.

 EN 13501-1: Fire classification of construction products and building elements – Part 1: Classification using data from reaction to fire tests: This standard outlines the fire classification system for construction products and building elements based on their reaction to fire performance.

 EN 1363-1: Fire resistance tests – Part 1: General requirements: This standard outlines the general requirements for fire resistance testing of various construction elements, including walls, floors, and doors.

 ASTM E119 Fire Resistance Test: This test evaluates the fire resistance of building materials such as walls, floors, and roofs. The test exposes a sample to a controlled fire, and the results are based on the time it takes for the sample to fail or the degree of damage caused by the fire.

 ASTM E84 Surface Burning Characteristics Test: This test evaluates the surface burning characteristics of building materials such as wall panels, insulation, and ceiling tiles. The test measures the flame spread and smoke development of the material when exposed to a controlled flame.

 ASTM E662 Smoke Density Test: This test measures the amount of smoke a material produces when exposed to a controlled flame. It’s used to evaluate the smoke toxicity of building materials, such as wall coverings, ceiling tiles, and carpets.

Our construction fire includes tests according to the standards:

NFPA 285 Wall Assembly Fire Test: This test evaluates the fire resistance of exterior wall assemblies. The test exposes a wall assembly to a controlled fire, and the results are based on the time it takes for the fire to spread from one side of the wall to the other.

 ISO 5660-1: Reaction to fire tests – Heat release, smoke production, and mass loss rate – Part 1: Heat release rate (cone calorimeter method): This test evaluates the heat release rate of building materials under controlled conditions using a cone calorimeter.

 EN 13501-1: Fire classification of construction products and building elements – Part 1: Classification using data from reaction to fire tests: This standard outlines the fire classification system for construction products and building elements based on their reaction to fire performance.

EN 1363-1: Fire resistance tests for non-loadbearing elements – Part 1: Walls: This standard outlines the specific requirements for fire resistance testing of non-loadbearing walls. Fire resistance tests – Part 1: General requirements: This standard outlines the general requirements for fire resistance testing of various construction elements, including walls, floors, and doors. Fire resistance and smoke control tests for door and shutter assemblies, openable windows, and elements of building hardware – Part 1: Fire resistance tests for doors, shutters, and openable windows: This standard outlines the specific requirements for fire resistance testing of doors, shutters, and openable windows. British Standard (BS) 476 is a set of fire testing standards that are used to evaluate the fire performance of building materials and systems. These standards are used in the construction industry to ensure that buildings and structures meet minimum fire safety requirements. BS 476 comprises several parts, each addressing specific aspects of fire testing of construction materials.
 BS 476 Part 4Non-Combustibility Test is the test method used to determine whether a material is non-combustible. The test evaluates the ability of a material to withstand exposure to high temperatures without catching fire or emitting flammable gases.
 BS 476 Part 6Fire Propagation Test is the test method used to determine the fire propagation characteristics of external wall and roof cladding systems. The test evaluates the rate of flame spread along the surface of the test material and the extent to which the material contributes to fire growth.
BS 476 Part 7 Surface Spread of Flame Test is the test method used to determine the rate of flame spread along the surface of a material. The test is typically used to evaluate the fire performance of interior wall and ceiling finishes.
 BS 476 Part 20 Fire Integrity Test is the test method used to determine the fire integrity of building elements, such as walls, floors, and doors. The test evaluates the ability of the building element to resist the spread of fire and prevent the passage of flames and hot gases for a specified period of time.
 BS 476 Part 22 Fire Classification of Building Materials and Construction Elements is used to classify the fire performance of building materials and construction elements based on their reaction to fire. The classification system ranges from Class 0 (non-combustible) to Class 4 (highly flammable).
