Combustibility Tester - EN ISO 11925-2

The Combustibility Tester is designed to evaluate the combustion behavior of building materials when exposed to a small direct flame in a vertical position, without external light sources. This testing is essential for fire safety engineering, allowing classification of building materials according to their flammability, and providing critical data to assess potential fire hazards in buildings.

The instrument is built in compliance with EN ISO 11925-2: Reaction to Fire Tests for Building Products — Part 2: Ignitability when Exposed to Direct Flame.

Applications

The Combustibility Tester is widely used for:

(1) Building Materials Fire Safety Assessment:

Evaluating walls, ceilings, floors, roofs, and other construction materials for combustibility.

Determining material reaction under flame exposure to support fire hazard classification.

(2) Construction Quality Control:

Routine testing for commercial and residential buildings to ensure materials meet fire safety standards.

Monitoring material consistency in production lines, prefabricated panels, and coatings.

(3) Research & Development:

Development of fire-retardant materials, coatings, and composite building materials.

Investigation of combustion behavior for innovative materials or improved flame retardancy.

(4) Regulatory Compliance:

Ensuring conformity with international fire safety standards for exports.

Supporting certification tests for EN ISO and local building fire codes.

(5) Education & Training:

Universities and technical colleges for fire engineering, safety engineering, and materials science experiments.

Laboratory demonstrations of vertical flame exposure effects on materials.
