Fire Resistance

During a fire test of a product’s or a construction’s fire resistance the properties are determined when exposed to a certain heat exposure, normally an equivalent room fire. The fire resistance is one or several properties of the assembled construction/product and consequently not a sole property of the incorporated materials. The construction can then be classified in different fire technical classifications.
