Chiltern International Fire

Chiltern International Fire was formerly the fire testing division of TRADA (the Timber Research and Development Association) but was separated to better cater for a wider range of products and offer a greater number of fire-related services including fire consultancy, testing and research:


In 2008, Chiltern International Fire invested £500,000 in its fire resistance laboratory in High Wycombe, including the commissioning of a new 3 x 3m vertical fire resistance test furnace.

The 1.1m3 and 3m x 2m horizontal furnaces were also refurbished; both now incorporate a highly sophisticated data logging and control system.
