Fire Safety
We are evaluating the fire safety including fire prevention and extinction performances, etc.
by re-enacting fire in buildings and structures, secondary battery, automobile and large packages, etc.
as well as construction materials and fire-door, and executing earthquake resistance safety evaluation of diversified products ranging
from earthquake-resistant materials for construction, bridge bearing, and auxiliary devices and structural secondary materials for bridge.
Overview
Fire prevention/resistance test evaluation
- Standards for acknowledgement and management of fire door and automatic fire prevention shutter
- Standards for acknowledgement and management of fire-resistant structures
- Fire-resistance performance test of high-strength concrete pillar-beam
Combustion test evaluation
- Fire retardancy performance test for interior/exterior finishing materials of building
- Fire safety test for interior/exterior facilities of railway vehicles
- Flame retardancy performance test for interior decorations (carpet, curtain and wallpaper, etc.)
- Combustion performance test for plastic materials for electrical and electronic products
- Analysis of gas generated from secondary battery fire
