Fire Testing

Fire testing is a process used to evaluate how materials, products, or structures react to fire. This testing helps ensure safety by measuring factors like flammability, heat resistance, and smoke production. During a fire test, items are exposed to controlled fire conditions to observe their behavior—whether they ignite, how quickly they burn, and how much smoke and toxic fumes are emitted. The results inform building codes and safety regulations, helping to protect lives and property by ensuring that materials used in construction and manufacturing meet specific safety standards against fire hazards.
