METHODS & DECISIONS
Different questions. Complementary tests.
Select the result you need before selecting the instrument.
IGNITION & SPREAD
Small-flame, SBI, flooring and lateral-spread tests describe behaviour under different exposure conditions.
HEAT RELEASE
Cone calorimetry, SBI and larger calorimeters connect fire development with time-resolved thermal data.
SMOKE & GASES
Optical smoke measures obscuration. FTIR and other gas analysers measure selected chemical components.
FIRE RESISTANCE
Furnace testing addresses separating or loadbearing functions of the installed assembly.
CABLE PERFORMANCE
Flame propagation, smoke, gas chemistry and circuit integrity answer separate application questions.
RESEARCH SYSTEMS
Define the scale, boundaries, fire source and measurement basis before comparing experimental results.
A test method defines a procedure; product classification or certification requires its own applicable criteria and complete assessment route.

Building-product classification in context
Fire atmosphere
FRTS brand
01 / FRTS
STANDARDS IN CONTEXT
Choose the route for the product.
Reaction to fire describes a product’s contribution to fire development. Fire resistance describes how an assembly performs under a defined exposure. The two are not interchangeable.
BUILDING PRODUCTS
Under GB 8624-2012, the applicable combination may include non-combustibility, gross heat of combustion, SBI and small-flame testing. Product category, composition and target class determine the route.
FLOORING PRODUCTS
Flooring uses dedicated radiant-panel criteria. The installation assembly, substrate and adhesive form part of the tested construction. Wall-panel SBI criteria cannot simply be reused.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Smoke, flaming droplets and toxicity describe different aspects of behaviour. Use the required method and notation for the applicable product category.
STANDARD TRANSITION
GB 8624-2025 is scheduled to take effect on 1 January 2027. Confirm the edition required by the project and review any new product-category provisions before specifying equipment.

Equipment image. Configuration may vary.
PURPOSE
Evaluate non-combustibility through temperature rise, sustained flaming and mass change. The furnace provides a stable high-temperature environment for prepared specimens of building materials, insulation products and their constituent materials.
APPLICATIONS
Material screening and building-product testing. Sampling and separation of components must reflect whether the product is homogeneous or composite.
Measure the response to a controlled furnace environment.
TEST PRINCIPLE
Temperature sensors monitor the furnace and the specimen response. Flame observations and specimen mass before and after exposure complete the measurement record.

ISO 1716 / GB/T 14402
Equipment / Oxygen Bomb Calorimeter
Equipment image. Configuration may vary.
PURPOSE
Determine gross heat of combustion using oxygen bomb calorimetry. The method provides material and component data for building-product assessment and helps compare the thermal contribution of core materials, adhesives and surface layers.
APPLICATIONS
Homogeneous materials, composite products and individual constituents that can be prepared and combusted using the specified method.
Quantify the energy released by complete combustion.
TEST PRINCIPLE
A weighed sample is ignited in a sealed oxygen-filled bomb. The calorimeter measures temperature change and converts it into heat of combustion using calibrated system heat capacity and the required corrections.
SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
Oxygen bomb, calorimetric vessel, temperature measurement, stirring and ignition. Weighing, oxygen charging and reference materials support preparation and calibration.

PURPOSE
Apply a defined small flame to a vertically mounted specimen and observe ignition, flame spread and flaming droplets. The apparatus supports testing of building panels, insulation and decorative materials under surface or edge flame application.
APPLICATIONS
Development screening and small-flame testing. Specimen thickness, substrate, orientation and exposed edge should be recorded with every result.

PURPOSE
Create a coordinated fire-resistance test system for walls, doors, windows and other vertical separating elements. Furnace construction, specimen support, combustion, pressure and multipoint temperatures are designed around the specimen and its installed boundary conditions.
APPLICATIONS
Fire-resisting vertical assemblies. The specimen dimensions, restraint, frame connection and exposed direction define the scope of each test.
Test separating elements within a controlled fire environment.
TEST PRINCIPLE
Combustion and exhaust control establish furnace temperature and pressure. Furnace sensors describe exposure, while unexposed-face measurements and integrity observations describe the specimen response over time.

PURPOSE
Generate and collect combustion gases from non-metallic cable materials for the selected chemical analysis. Different parts of the method address different analytical tasks and require the corresponding instruments and consumables.
APPLICATIONS
Cable-material gas analysis and investigation of acid-gas and potential corrosivity characteristics.
Collect and analyse gases released by cable materials.
TEST PRINCIPLE
A prepared sample is heated in a tube furnace. Controlled airflow transports the generated gases into an absorption solution, which is then analysed or measured for pH and conductivity as required.
