We can optimise the fire resistance testing plans for your glazing systems.
Glazing systems are an increasingly common feature in contemporary architecture. Glazing systems which form an enclosure and glazed fire-resistant doors must ensure that people and property are protected in the case of fire.
Manufacturers of glazing systems are often faced with the challenge of testing large families of products which, due to their composition and configuration, may be subject to different testing and certification standards. In order to understand the market access requirements for each product, Applus+ Laboratories puts at your disposal a team of experts in testing and certification standards for glazing systems.
Our methodology:
Our team of engineers studies each project to determine the optimal testing plan:
Our fire resistance laboratories:

Certification for glazing systems:
Applus+ Laboratories is a Notified Body (number 0370) for undertaking tests and the whole CE Marking process for external glazed doors.
To enable manufacturers of fire protection products to access global markets, Applus+ Laboratories has created the A+ Fire Safety certification. This is our own, voluntary mark, supported by a certification system, which allows all types of systems to be certified according to the relevant testing standards.
The Applus+ Fire Safety certification is a solution for manufacturers of interior glazed doors. Once the standard UNE-EN 14351-2 has been harmonized, doors with the Applus+ Fire Safety mark will be able to receive the CE Marking directly.
