Future Testing We will soon be facilitating other ranges of testing at UKTC. To find out more information then please complete the Register Interest form below. How much does a fire resistance test cost? Full-scale Fire Resistance tests are available from £7,800 plus VAT. However, every test is unique, and fees can vary based on the scope of work involved. During contract review, UKTC personnel will work collaboratively with customers to ensure that the broadest field of application is achieved whilst minimising investment. What is BS 476 Part 22? BS 476 Part 22 is a key standard within the UK's building safety regulations that specifies methods for testing the fire resistance of non-loadbearing elements of construction, such as doors, shutters, and various types of ducts and dampers. This standard is instrumental in determining how these elements will perform in the event of a fire, ensuring they meet the necessary safety requirements to protect building occupants and property. What is BS EN 1634-1? BS EN 1634-1:2014 + A1:2018 is a European standard that specifies the test methods for assessing the fire resistance of door and shutter assemblies, including openable windows and elements of building hardware. This standard is crucial for evaluating how well these components can withstand fire, aiming to restrict fire development, limit its spread, and protect escape routes. How long does it take to get results? On completion of the test, the responsible officer will confirm the results within 24 hrs. This will be followed by a comprehensive draft report within 14 days. Can my product be changed from what was tested? Unlike fire resistance tests under British Standards, European standards provide a Direct Field of Application (DIAP) which detail the permissible changes from what was tested. An Extended Field of Application (EXAP) can also be undertaken which offers a great scope of variations than a DIAP. What is third-party certification? Third-party certification is independent verification that a product or service fulfils certain criteria. With passive fire protection products, this normally involves a certification body assessing test results, carrying out a factory production control audit and undertaking periodic inspections to ensure constancy of performance. UKTC work with many approved certification providers, including Bluesky Certification, IFC Certification and UL Solutions. What is UKCA Marking? UK Conformity Assessed (UKCA) marking is the new product marking which will be required for certain products placed on the market in Great Britain (England, Wales and Scotland). Does my product require UKCA Marking? The Construction Products Regulation in Great Britain states that any Construction Product covered by a UK Designated Standard must be UKCA marked.
- Penetration Seals Testing | United Kingdom Testing and Certification
Penetration Seals Penetration seals are materials or systems used to seal openings created by services such as gas, water, electricity, and drainage as they pass through fire-resisting walls, partitions, floors, and ceilings, ensuring that the integrity and insulation of the fire compartmentation are not compromised. The purpose of fire resistance testing is to confirm compliance with building codes and standards, ensuring the seals maintain their protective properties during a fire. Have a Question, or want to make an enquiry? Fill out a quick form for a quote. Speak to Us We are able to perform fire resistance testing for foams, sealants, mastics and other fire resistant penetration seals. UKAS Accredited Laboratory Our UKAS accredited testing laboratory No. 21542 can provide full end-to-end fire resistance testing. Comprehensive Report Once your test is completed, you will be issued with a comprehensive and internationally recognised fire resistance test report accessible by your very own online portal with a full video of the test conducted.

- Gross Heat of Combustion | BS EN ISO1716:2018 | UKTC
Gross Heat of Combustion BS EN ISO 1716:2018 United Kingdom Testing and Certification can offer Reaction to Fire Testing Services through strategic partner laboratories that are UKAS accredited for this activity. Gross Heat of Combustion Test (BS EN ISO1716:2018) This test determines the potential maximum total heat release of a product when completely burned, regardless of its end use. This method determines the absolute value of the heat of combustion for a product without accounting for inherent product variability. The mass per unit area of each non-substantial component must be provided by the client or calculated in the laboratory. A minimum of 50g from a homogenous product or substantial component and 10g from any non-substantial component is to be sampled, ground into a fine powder and conditioned. After conditioning a 0.5g sample is selected and placed in a crucible inside the pressurised vessel (bomb), together with combustion aids if necessary (benzoic acid or paraffin oil). The bomb is then filled with 99.5% pure oxygen to a pressure of 30MPa. The bomb is then inserted into the testing apparatus which fills with water and the sample is ignited. The test apparatus measures the rise in temperature of the water and calculates the calorific value of the sample, considering any combustion aids. A total of 5 sample of each component are tested. The report will show the calorific value of each project in MJ/kg, Mj/m2 for each non-substantial component, and the total calorific value of the entire product.
