YOUR PRODUCT. YOUR BRAND.Why tested fire protection matters
Safety assurance
Testing provides evidence of performance under defined fire conditions, supporting informed decisions to help protect people.
Code compliance
Appropriate test and classification evidence supports assessment against applicable building regulations and the intended use.
Property protection
Correctly specified and installed systems can help limit fire spread and damage to buildings and assets.
Insurance requirements
Documented fire protection may support an insurer's assessment. Any effect on premiums or cover depends on the insurer and the project.
Peace of mind
Traceable products and clear technical information give specifiers and customers greater confidence in their choices.
Performance and compliance depend on the tested configuration, classification, field of application and installation. A component's results do not automatically establish the performance of a complete system.
OUR LABORATORY / ZUMARRAGA, SPAIN
03 / R&D FACILITIES
Develop. Test.
Understand.
Improve.
Our in-house facilities in Zumarraga include industrial ovens for fire tests. We carry out controlled testing of construction materials and systems to understand their behaviour under fire exposure and inform product development.
Testing helps us compare solutions, refine materials and identify the evidence needed for the intended application.
In-house development tests are distinct from formal certification. Ask us about the applicable test methods, reports and certification requirements for your product.

04 / CASE STUDIES
From a requirement
to a route to market.
Two development examples show how we would approach a product brief, from technical requirements to application support.
Illustrative workflows, not reports of completed projects. No product classification, certification or test result is claimed.
DEVELOPMENT EXAMPLE / 01
Timber protection
Varnish systems
Timber has an important role in more sustainable construction. The brief: explore a varnish system that balances the desired finish with the fire performance requirements of its intended use.
Technical specifications & requirements
Define the timber substrate, application, appearance and target fire performance. Distinguish reaction-to-fire requirements from the fire resistance of a structural element, and agree the applicable standards.
Fire testing & certification pathway
Prepare coated samples, compare formulations and define the formal testing and classification needed for the proposed use. Any claim must be supported by evidence for the relevant substrate and coating system.
Application & technical support
Establish surface preparation, application quantities, drying conditions and quality checks. Prepare product information and private-label supply requirements.
DEVELOPMENT EXAMPLE / 02
Fire door accessories
Sealing solutions
The brief: source sealing materials from China for use in fire door assemblies, with controlled quality, appropriate documentation and private-label presentation.
Technical specifications & requirements
Define seal dimensions, materials, installation details and the target door assembly. Identify fire and, where relevant, smoke-control requirements for the destination market.
Supplier assessment & testing pathway
Review samples, supplier quality controls and supporting reports. Assess the testing needed for the intended door assembly; a seal's performance alone does not establish a door's classification.
Application & commercial support
Agree installation guidance, traceability, labelling and ongoing quality checks. Coordinate branding, packaging and logistics around the client's requirements.
