Among the best-known components of a building are walls, staircases, and roofs. When the relevant fire protection requirements are met, these elements can help effectively contain the spread of fire.
Whether for new construction projects or extensions, assessing the fire behavior of building components, construction methods, and structures is essential to comply with legal fire protection requirements. Benefit from our testing and consulting services to implement your projects safely and in full compliance with applicable standards.
We test walls, ceilings, and roofs for their fire-retardant properties and fire resistance. Classification is carried out according to the categories:
tailored to your specific requirements.
The combination of individual building components defines the construction method of a building. We assess whether these comply with the requirements of Section 16a of the German Model Building Code (MBO), thereby ensuring maximum safety.
Our tests ensure that structures remain stable in the event of a fire and contribute significantly to delaying the spread of fire and smoke.
Using fire simulations and evacuation calculations, we identify potential risks at an early stage and optimize fire protection during the planning phase.
The building regulations classify building components into the following categories:
The combination of these individual components results in the building construction method. The fire protection requirements that must be met are governed by Section 16a of the German Model Building Code (MBO).
When planning a new building, it is therefore crucial to collaborate with experts from the very beginning in order to consider all necessary steps and requirements already during the preliminary planning phase.
With the help of fire simulations, it is possible to precisely determine whether a planned building poses potential risks. In addition, evacuation calculations are useful for further enhancing the safety of building occupants.
