Fire & Flammability Testing
BEMCON arranges fire-performance testing for relevant materials, components and building assemblies. Programmes distinguish material flammability from assembly fire resistance, with conclusions limited to the tested configuration and applicable assessment rules.

BUILT AROUND YOUR REQUIREMENT
Fire & Flammability Testing with a clear purpose
Each engagement starts with the required outcome, operating context and evidence of success. The result is a focused Fire & Flammability Testing scope with clear responsibilities and handover points.
Sampling
Sampling plans and chain-of-custody from site to laboratory.
Standards-based methods
Testing to ISO, ASTM, EN, GSO and SASO methods.
Reports you can use
Certified reports with interpretation and next steps.
7 SPECIALIST CAPABILITIES
What the service can cover
Select the capabilities that match your Fire & Flammability Testing requirement, operating context and agreed delivery stage.
Ignitability Testing
Assess ignition behaviour under the selected test method. Reports identify the specimen, exposure conditions and results relevant to the intended application.
Flame-Spread Testing
Coordinate flame-spread assessment for suitable materials and products. Findings support comparison with requirements applicable to the tested material and configuration.
Heat-Release Testing
Measure heat-release characteristics using the agreed method. Results provide documented performance data for the specified specimen construction and testing conditions.
Smoke-Production Testing
Assess smoke production where required by the selected test programme. Reports distinguish the characteristics actually measured from other fire-related properties not assessed.
Building-Assembly Fire-Resistance Testing
Arrange testing of relevant assemblies, such as doors and partitions. Assessment addresses the complete submitted construction rather than assuming performance from individual materials.
Specimen & Installation Configuration Planning
Define specimen construction, dimensions and installation details with the laboratory. Planning aligns the submitted test arrangement with the product application being assessed.
Fire-Test Reporting & Classification Review
Review reported performance and any supported classification. Identify configuration restrictions, assessment limitations and changes that may require further testing or specialist review.
HOW WE WORK
From test question to usable findings
A defined workflow keeps the work aligned with the approved scope and makes progress, decisions and handover easier to manage.
Scope your requirement- 01
Define the requirement
Confirm the sample or product, applicable specification and decision the testing must support.
- 02
Build the test programme
Agree specimens, operating conditions, measurements, methods and acceptance criteria before work begins.
- 03
Coordinate testing
Manage the assignment with an appropriate specialist partner laboratory and keep the agreed scope visible.
- 04
Report and decide
Present measured results, observed changes, deviations, limitations and priorities for any further investigation.
WHAT YOU RECEIVE
Evidence designed for the next decision
Agreed test programme
Defined samples, methods, reporting expectations and assessment criteria before testing starts.
Coordinated specialist testing
Testing coordinated with partner laboratories selected for the required analytical methods.
Clear technical findings
Documented results, observations, deviations and limitations for the scope actually completed.
Practical next steps
Priorities for review, corrective action, further analysis or specialist investigation where needed.
