Ignis Labs has flammability testing equipment to evaluate Australian, European and North American requirements.

Flammability testing is a critical procedure used to evaluate the susceptibility of materials to ignite, sustain combustion, or spread flames when exposed to a source of ignition. This type of testing is essential for ensuring the safety of materials used in a wide range of applications, from textiles and building materials to automotive and aerospace components. The tests are conducted under controlled laboratory conditions, where materials are subjected to specific heat sources or flames, and various properties are measured including the rate of flame spread, heat release, smoke production, and the material’s ability to self-extinguish. The results from flammability tests help in classifying materials according to their fire performance, guiding manufacturers in material selection, and ensuring that products meet safety standards and regulatory requirements. This testing is fundamental in preventing fire-related incidents and enhancing public safety by promoting the use of materials that are less likely to contribute significantly to fire growth and severity.
