Who we are

Expert testing with accurate results

We test the fire resistance and smoke control of building products and constructions. We are a ČIA-accredited laboratory, No. 1747 and, for defined tasks according to the CPR, also Notified Body No. 3196. The applicability of the results depends on the product, the standard applied and the subsequent assessment process.

We are an expert partner who will guide you through the test — we will explain the requirements, help with preparation and suggest a procedure even for atypical assignments. Our goal is an accurate result and an understandable cooperation for large and small manufacturers.
