Testing and classification was completed by the independent test house
BRE Watford UK
one of the largest fire research and testing laboratories in Europe.
Samples of our FRARCH01 and FRARCH02 panels were tested against the standard
Reaction To Fire BS EN 13501.1.2018
Both achieved Certification of
A2 s1 d0
There are 2 parts to the overall test configuration
EN ISO 1716:2018
Determination of the gross heat of combustion.
A sample of each material used in the panel was tested to determine the gross heat of combustion, also known as the calorific value. This value represents the maximum amount of thermal energy the material could contribute to a fire.

Single Burning Item test
Pairs of panels were assembled into an internal corner configuration; a gas burner was then used to apply a heat flux to the panels. Various measurements were taken including the total quantity of smoke produced (TSP), the smoke growth rate (SMOGRA), and the rate of heat release from the panel (FIGRA).
