Fire test laboratory
We subject your product to the required fire testing.

We test your engineering samples, prototypes, and series products according to national and international standards and regulations in our fire test laboratory, which is accredited according to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005.Your vehicle components and materials are tested for ignitability, heat resistance, flame development, burning behaviour, heat release, fuel gas development and toxicity.

We conduct fire testing for the construction and electrical industry and on materials, small components, and component sections for railway vehicles, automobiles, and ships.

Examples are fire testing of seats, interior materials, building materials, and ignitability testing of furniture, bedding items, and other textiles. Our services include the determination of toxic gases and the testing of smoke production in plastics.
