Passive Fire Protection
Passive fire protection is an integral part of building construction and helps to gain valuable time in the event of a fire.
In our role as an accredited testing laboratory in accordance with DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025 (Accreditation No. D-PL 17819-01-00), we offer all types of testing procedures in the field of passive fire protection. With a strong commitment to quality assurance and extensive expertise in product testing, we set standards for precision, reliability, and compliance.
Our many years of experience and in-depth technical knowledge enable us to test, classify, and certify a comprehensive range of products in accordance with stringent national and European standards. In doing so, we contribute to ensuring product safety, performance, and environmental compatibility.
- As an EU-certified testing body for reaction to fire and fire resistance in accordance with the Construction Products Regulation No. 305/2011
- Our services include recognized testing, inspection, and certification in line with national building regulations, with a particular focus on the behavior of construction products when exposed to external fire.
