Objec�ve of Fire Resistance Tes�ng
The objec�ve for these new tests is to enhance structural performance so that uncontrolled building fires result
in burnout without par�al or total collapse. Addi�onally, these fire measurement technologies would also lead
to improvements in igni�on resistant materials, surface flammability, fire growth, smoke and toxic gas
produc�on that will save lives and reduce the high cost of unwanted fires for automo�ve, marine, railways,
electric, construc�on and tex�les.

The Steiner Tunnel Test is a widely used method of
tes�ng building interior wall and ceiling finishes for their
ability to support and propagate fire, and for their
tendency to emit smoke. The test itself involves an
assembly of the tested material, fabricated into an
otherwise noncombus�ble horizontal box or tunnel as
the tunnel's roof, in a sec�on 7.3 meters long and 0.56
meters wide.
Special Fire Tes�ng Facili�es
Surface Burning Characteris�cs of Building Materials (Steiner Tunnel Test by ASTM E- 84)
Non Combus�bility Test
This test determines whether or not a material contributes to the fire,
subjec�ng it to a controlled hea�ng and measuring certain parameters such
as the ini�al temperature, maximum and final, the �me required to increase
the temperature, the total �me of combus�on of the product (EN ISO 1182)
EN ISO 1182, IMO FTPC Part 1 , ASTM E 2652.
Fire Tests of Building Construc�on and Materials (ASTM E 119)
The test exposes the test specimen to a controlled fire to achieve specified temperatures for a specified �me period to
evaluate its structural integrity. This test is applicable to assemblies of walls, columns, floors, masonry units and to
composite assemblies of structural materials for buildings, including bearing and other walls and par��ons, columns,
girders, beams, slabs, and composite slab and to other integral parts of a finished building.
Test of Dry chemical for figh�ng fire
The dry powder is Generally composed of basic material of eutec�c
chlorides, ammonium phosphate, diammonium phosphate, sodium
chloride or a mixture of sodium chloride with ammonium phosphate
with addi�ves to make It water repellant, free flowing and confirming to
various requirements men�oned in this standard.
A gas burner is lit at one end of the chamber for dura�on of 10 minutes and the progress of the flame front across
the test material is measured by visual observa�on, while the smoke emi�ed from the end of the test assembly is
measured as a factor of op�cal density. A flame spread index (FSI) and a smoke-developed index(SDI) are
calculated from these results which are used to classify material under class A,B,C.

Fire Tests on safes (IS: 550 Part-3)
This standard lays down the methods of test for assessing the fire resistance capacity of the safes. Tests
conducted in accordance with these requirements are intended to demonstrate the performance of equipment
during exposure to fire, but are not intended to determine acceptability for use a�er exposure to fire.

The Cone Calorimeter is a widely used tool for fire safety engineering. It
works on the principle of Oxygen Consump�on Calorimetry which states
that ‘Net heat of combus�on of any organic material is directly related to
the amount of oxygen required for combus�on’. It is used to study the
response of the materials when they are exposed to the controlled
radiant hea�ng.
It is a small-scale instrument to measure rate of heat release, igni�on �me
and smoke produc�on of building product.
We feel proud to share that we are the first in the country to develop this dynamic tool at an approx. cost of 35% of
the imported equipment cost which is considered an achievement under the MAKE IN INDIA.
