Building Material Fire Resistance Testing
What is Building Material Fire Resistance Testing?
Fire resistance testing for building materials is performed to enhance fire safety by evaluating the performance of critical materials—such as fire doors, fire-resistant structures, and finishing materials—throughout manufacturing, distribution, and installation. This process is mandated by expanded quality certification systems and is governed by official standards and notifications.
