Fire Protection
In general, the term fire protection is understood to mean the aim of preventing the development of fire, preventing its spread and minimizing the effects of a fire.
The question of whether building materials or components made from them are suitable for providing adequate protection is answered by the provisions of building law.
The use of suitable building materials and components in particular ensures a lasting level of safety.
The aim of modern architecture is to harmonise functionality, durability and aesthetics and thus characterise the object.
As testing body
we carry out tests
• to classify building materials and provide final proof with a test certificate
• as a basis for general building inspectorate certificates and approvals, approvals in exceptional approvals.
During the development of products we test typical characteristic values
• heat release on the basis of determined calorific values
• smoke development during combustion and smouldering
• burning dripping.
We test on building materials:
• DIN 4102-B2 (normal flammability)

This includes
• initial testing of the building product

• initial inspection of the manufacturing plant
• continuous monitoring
As certification body

– general building inspectorate certificates
– general building inspectorate approvals,
