Reaction to fire tests that are being used to assess the contribution to fire growth from products such as walls, floors, and ceiling linings. Different tests are used to examine ignition, flammability, rate of heat release and combustion effluent like smoke and burning droplet behavior.
Fire Resistance tests evaluate the ability of an element of construction such as a door, wall, floors and others... to withstand the effects of a fully developed fire. This can be quantified simply as a measure of time, or it may entail a multitude of criteria involving other evidence of functionality or fitness for purpose.
Material Lab is recognized as an accredited fire testing laboratory, equipped to execute both fire resistance testing and reaction-to-fire evaluation of building materials. We conduct testing in full compliance with EN 13501‑1, BS 476‑22, EN 1363, and UL standards, notably ASTM, UL & NFPA where relevant. Backed by EIAC accreditation and approval from Dubai Civil Defence, Material Lab is your trusted fire resistance testing laboratory for complex construction needs.
Our team specializes in the fire testing of building materials, including doors, partitions, walls, glazing assemblies, curtain walls, ducts, penetration seals, dampers, coatings, and façade systems. Using state-of-the-art furnaces and test rigs, we replicate high-temperature fire exposures to rate the performance of materials and systems. This ensures compliance with both local regulations and global best practices in fire safety.
Across three core dimensions, Material Lab distinguishes itself among fire testing laboratories. These strengths make Material Lab a go-to fire resistance testing laboratory for contractors, product manufacturers, facade engineers, and certifying bodies.
From reaction-to-fire testing (flame spread, heat release, smoke indices) to full fire endurance and hose-stream criteria.
Operates under EIAC ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation, and is recognized by Dubai Civil Defence for Civil Defense Certificate eligibility.
From reaction-to-fire testing (flame spread, heat release, smoke indices) to full fire endurance and hose-stream criteria.
As a leading fire testing laboratory, we support manufacturers and building professionals with comprehensive testing of materials such as insulation boards, drywall, cladding panels, structural modules, sealants, and surface coatings. Our evaluation of fire performance helps you qualify products for local building approval and Civil Defense use in high-rise and industrial developments. Wherever fire resistance and reaction-to-fire data are required, Material Lab delivers precise, certified results efficiently.
