Testing & Certification – Fire Testing

Fire Testing

Wetherby hold a huge amount of Fire testing for our various systems to ensure they perform to the highest standards and provide protection for occupants of a building. 

To achieve BBA certification, Wetherby systems must pass the BS 476-6 (fire propagation) and BS 476-7 (surface spread of flame) (currently being replaced by BS EN 13501-1). This classification provides system acceptance under building regulations for use on building less than 18 metres in height.

Wetherby have completed a large number of fire tests to BS 8414 which is a far more in depth test providing the highest testing standard in the industry and allowing use of our systems on high rise buildings. For further information on the fire performance of our insulants please see the below links or contact the Wetherby Technical Department on 0800 107 32 99.
