UL

Fire door testing service for Europe, the UK, the U.S. and Canada with a single combined fire resistance test program

Utilizing our fire testing facility in Rosenheim, Germany, we can conduct a single combined fire resistance test that includes critical requirements of the UL test standards for North America, EN test standards for Europe and BS test standards for the UK. It is the only European laboratory that can support testing for the UL Mark for access to North America and can conduct testing to support the new EN 16034 fire-door Product Standard for CE Marking. In addition, we can offer environmental and durability test capabilities.

Our engineers have extensive UL, EN and BS standards experience which includes serving on standards writing committees. Our team have created a single, combined test program that caters for all needs to assess compliance with all critical requirements, including:

• UL standards – includes specific requirements in UL10C such as the hose stream test.
• EN standards – includes additional requirements including unexposed face thermocouple positioning and attention to furnace pressure.
• BS standards – BS test method addressed via the adoption of the EN standard subject to an expert judgement prior to and after the completion of testing.

This unique test method saves time to market and initial and ongoing costs.
