Our Testing Scope
Fire Resistance Testing
Indicative Testing
Fire Resistance Testing
Vertical Furnace
Our 3m x 3m full-size furnace allows us to conduct fire resistance testing on a wide range of construction products, including doorsets, walls, partitions, glazing systems, and penetration seals.
The furnace is configured to test to European norms, ensuring full compliance to your testing requirements.
Indicative Testing
Cube Furnace
In addition to our full-size furnace, we offer testing on a 1.5m cube furnace. This allows for preliminary assessments of fire performance, helping our clients optimise their product designs and meet regulatory requirements more efficiently.
The furnace can test in both the horizontal and vertical planes and is currently configured for EN testing.
Reaction to Fire
SBI and SFI Testing - and Small Flame
Classifications to EN13501-1:2018
SBI Testing: Single Burning Item (EN 13823:2020 +A1:2022) testing is key for understanding how materials respond when exposed to fire, vital for ensuring the safety of various products and structures.
The SBI test is used in conjunction with the small flame test to determine classifications B, C and D in accordance with EN13501-1:2018. At The DUL , we conduct SBI tests, providing clear insights into material performance under fire conditions, helping you make informed decisions for safety and reliability.
SFI Testing comprises Small Flame Impingement (SFI) (BS EN ISO 11925-2:2020) testing service, designed to assess how materials withstand exposure to small flames. In conjunction with the SBI test, the small flame test is used for B,C & D classifications in accordance with EN 13501-1:2018. We also test for Classifications E & F.
