Non-combustible testing is a critical process used to determine whether a material can be classified as non-combustible under specific fire safety standards. This testing involves subjecting the material to intense heat in a controlled environment to observe whether it ignites, burns, or contributes to the spread of fire. Materials that pass these tests do not support combustion and are therefore considered safe for use in areas where fire resistance is paramount, such as in the construction of buildings, especially in fire-rated assemblies like walls, floors, and ceilings. The results of non-combustible testing are essential for architects, engineers, and builders in selecting materials that enhance the fire safety of structures, ensuring compliance with building codes, and protecting both lives and property from fire hazards.

Ignis Labs can undertake non-combustible testing to the following standards.

• AS 1530.1: Non-combustibility testing.
• ASTM E2652: Standard test method for assessing combustibility of materials using a tube furnace with a cone-shaped airflow stabilizer at 750^o
• BS 1182: Reaction to fire test for products – non-combustibility test
• GB/T 5464: Non-Combustibility Test Method Of Building Materials
