Preventive fire protection serves to safeguard life and limb, the environment and public safety. It involves regulations designed to prevent the development and spread of fire so that fire hazards do not occur in the first place. Therefore, devices and systems for testing the fire behavior of products have been increasing in importance in recent times. For reasons of safety and in accordance with legal regulations, it is essential that products and materials are as flame-retardant as possible. At the same time, it is equally important that a product generates as little smoke and heat as possible...

Fire Testing Prevents Firefighting IN ACCORDANCE WITH EURO CLASSIFICATION DIN EN 13501 (A1 to F) Preventive Fire Protection and ation m r o f at: ct in produ be found d e l i an Deta g ures c -testin broch e r fi / s.ch /netz / : s p t ht In order to prevent fires or keep them from spreading, it is essential to choose materials and components appropriately. The basis for such decisions are fire tests in accordance with national, regional and international standards used to classify the flammability and burn rate of materials for the construction, textile, automobile and electrical industries....

Mobility Tests in the field of mobility focus on the flammability and flame spread rate of materials that are used for the interior of vehicles. Such materials include those used to produce the interior lining and trim, seats and floor coverings of aviation vehicles, railed vehicles, road vehicles and ships. Reactions to fire - especially issues such as flame spread and flaming droplets for electronic and electrical parts, smoke density, insulation integrity and the formation of corrosive gases upon flame impact for electrical, control and data cables - form the basis for fire tests in the field...

KBT 916 - Fire Testing Systems for CablesFire Testing System for Measuring the Heat Release, Smoke Production and Smoke Density During Flame Spread Tests on Vertically Mounted Bunched Cables and Insulated Wires in Accordance with EN 50399 and IEC 60332-3-10 Cables and lines are essential for our day-to-day use of electricity and energy. To achieve maximum safety and the best possible fire protection, it is important to have precise knowledge about their fire behavior. The KBT 916 fire testing device determines the heat release and smoke production and helps classify cables into the correct fire...

SBI 915 – Single Burning Item Fire Testing System for Determining the Reaction of Building Products to Fire When Exposed to Thermal Attack by a Single Burning Item in Accordance with EN 13823 To assess the fire behavior of building products, the SBI 915 simulates the start of a fire. The results of the SBI test are used to classify the building product (Euroclass). By means of the SBI 915, building products can be measured according to CPR (Construction Products Regulation), with the exception of a few product groups like floorings and cables. The test unit consists of a test chamber, the test...

TBB 913 – Flooring Radiant Panel Tester Test System for the Reaction of Floorings to Fire in Accordance with EN ISO 9239-1 (Propane Burner) and EN 13501-1, Based on ASTM E648 (Methane Burner) The fire test in accordance with EN 13501-1 has been mandatory for the approval of flooring products in European countries for several years now. The American standard is very similar to the European standard, but is based on a methane burner. All types of flooring products, e.g., carpets, wood, cork and plastic coverings, can be tested. The TBB 913 is used to simulate the probable degree of stress that...

The TNB test identifies which building products contribute very little, if at all, to the progression of a fire. Based on these results, the appropriate building product for a structure can be selected. Testing of non-combustibility serves for classification into the European fire classes A1 and A2. BUILDING MATERIALS The "TNB measuring and control unit" - with its integrated Single Board Computer with Windows operating systems. TNB software and high-resolution color touch display - is used for setting parameters and controlling the test furnace in stand-alone mode. Automated digital control...

KBK 917 – Small Burner Box Fire Testing System for Determining the Ignitability of Building Products Subjected to Direct Impingement of Flame – Part 2: Single-Flame Source Test in Accordance with DIN EN ISO 11925-2 for Classification into Euroclasses B, C, D and E The DIN EN ISO 11925-2 standard specifies a test method for determining the flammability of products in a vertical arrangement, applying a small flame directly and without additional heat irradiation. By means of additional accessories, the KBK can also be used for tests in accordance with DIN 4102-1. During a test in the small burner...

Fire Testing System for Determining the Heat Release Rate, Dynamic Smoke Production and Mass-Loss Rate of Materials and Products According to the Oxygen Consumption Principle in Accordance with ISO 5660-1 The Cone Calorimeter is considered the most significant instrument in fire testing. It analyzes the heat release rate and the dynamic smoke production of a product, and is based on the principle that the amount of heat released by the burning sample is directly related to the amount of oxygen consumed during forced combustion. The amount of heat produced by a material is directly related to...

■ Flame spread on the roof surface ■ Penetration of burning/glowing parts through the roof stucture ■ Glowing behavior of the roofing ■ Formation of holes in the roofing ■ Radius of fire spread on flat roofs For the building industry, fire behavior including flammability and flame spread is of major importance. With the TDP T4 testing device, the behavior of roofs when exposed to external fire loads can be determined. The DIN CEN/TS 1187 standard specifies four test methods for determining the fire behavior of roofs when exposed to external fire. The TDP T4 allows for a test in accordance with...
