As a UKAS (United Kingdom Accreditation Service) accredited testing and certification body, we are able to offer testing and certification services to satisfy our clients’ needs. In addition to this, we can produce technical assessments either to provide a field of application, in accordance with the relevant standard, or to review a bespoke detail on a project and consider the potential fire resistance performance, if the detail were to be subjected to a fire resistance test. All assessments we produce are based upon sufficient and relevant fire test evidence and provide a technical justification as to how the scope of application of the test evidence can be applied to the specific detail on site. This not only maximises the potential use of available test evidence but can also help limit the number of additional tests that may be required, if the relevant test evidence is unavailable. Warringtonfire assessments are provided in accordance with the industry recognised guidance document by the Passive Fire Protection Forum, titled ‘Guide to Undertaking Technical Assessments of the Fire Performance of Construction Products Based on Fire Test Evidence 2021’ and follow the principles of EN 15725: 2010, ‘Extended application reports on the fire performance of construction products and building elements’.
