A key area in which we provide consultancy is fire resistance performance.
To comply with regulations, many buildings require fire resistant building elements such as fire doors, screens, wall, floors etc. The performance of these elements needs to be proven and is normally achieved by appropriate fire resistance testing.
As it’s impractical to test all potential variations of fire resistant elements for all applications, professional solutions are often necessary to establish whether variations from tested details are acceptable.
A product assessment is a desk based study to assess the fire resistance performance of building elements to either:
- Increase the coverage of tested products to allow new designs or design variations, without the need for additional testing or
- Cover project specific elements that may be impractical to test.
Our team of fire consultants produce product assessments of fire resistance performance for Building Regulation compliance based on 30 years’ of experience and, where appropriate, the agreed principles and resolutions of the Fire Test Study Group.
