STANDARDS AND PERFORMANCE
The test method used to assess the effectiveness of flame retardant products is BS476, Part 7 1987 and is used to classify a material in terms of "Spread of Flame".
Class 1 is a low surface spread of flame, the highest achievable with the test method and is a performance normally required for walls and ceilings.
In high risk areas such as escape routes Class 0, limited combustibility, is required. To comply materials must have a Class 1 Surface Spread of Flame and a low fire propagation to BS 476 Part 6 1989.
Intumescent coatings are used to prevent the penetration of fire through a structure for a specific period in accordance with BS 476 Parts 20-23 1987. Such coatings are given classifications with specific periods of time achievements, such as "30 minutes".
All fire retardant systems are also tested to EN13501-1:2002. Intumescent coatings are tested to EN 1364-1:1999
All products have been designed for ease of application, environmental considerations and are tested in independent laboratories to both UK and European (EN) Standards.
