National Building Fire Test Standards

Regarding performance indicators of fireproof and thermal insulation materials, absolute values are often used as statistical indicators. Still, such fundamental values are not convenient for judging the performance of products. Therefore, fire protection standards in various countries have emerged as the times require.

Through these standards, we can easily have a basic understanding of material properties. Let's look at Heaterk to understand the fire test standards of fire insulation materials in various countries.
