Azpeitia Location

Our fire testing laboratory has the following equipment:

• Reaction equipment (according to EN, UNE, UL, IMO, ISO, etc.), calorimetric cone, SBI, flammability equipment, radiant floor covering panel and radiant side panel, calorimetric pump, UL 94/EN 60695-11-10 flame propagation equipment, EN 60332-1-2 cable propagation equipment, LOI. EN 60695-11-10 flame spread equipment, EN 60332-1-2 cable flame spread equipment, roof flame spread equipment, LOI.
• Equipment for characterising smoke toxicity and opacity with optical density and toxicity analysis (FTIR, tubular furnace).
• Calorimeter equipped with a 4 m x 4 m hood (3 MW)
• Large-scale test benches to study the fire spread on façades up to 10 m high (BS 8414, NFPA 285, CAN/ULC-S134, etc.)
• 3×3 m vertical furnace and 4×3 m horizontal furnace with different heating curves. Possibility of load application and smoke tightness assessment.
• Small-scale 1×1 m cubic experimental furnace for prototypes.

 We offer the following services:

• Large scale fire spread tests on façades.
• Reaction to fire test of materials.
• Fire resistance.
• Technical studies for extending test results (EXAP).
• European Technical Assessments (ETA) in LRPC according to EOTA guidelines.
• CE marking and other international certifications.
• Technical support in product development.
• Technical suitability studies for innovative products.
• Technical assessments (Technical Conformity Reports).
• Small and large scale “ad hoc” fire tests for products without associated regulations.
• Testing of cells, modules and complete batteries using thermal runaway induction.
• Simulation of fire behaviour (ANSYS, Eurocodes) and performance-based design.
• Analysis of regulation reports and on-site inspections.
