Fire Resistance Testing

Fire resistance testing evaluates how well building materials or structures can withstand fire and prevent its spread over a specified period. This involves exposing samples to controlled fire conditions in a laboratory setting to assess their ability to maintain strength, stability, and insulation. The goal is to ensure safety by verifying that walls, floors, and other components can resist fire for a designated time, allowing occupants to evacuate and reducing property damage. Results guide safety standards, building codes, and design decisions to create fire-safe environments.
