GROUP OF TESTING LABORATORIES
FIRE TESTING LABORATORY ITB Mazovian Branch
Carries out the tests of:
construction products and building elements, such as: walls, floors and roofs, beams, columns, stairs, balconies,
suspended ceilings and ceiling linings, external walls, doors and windows, ventilation ducts, fire dampers,
penetration seals, linear joint seals also with induced movement, installation shafts and ducts, raised floors,
conveyor systems and their closures, smoke extraction ducts, smoke barriers, natural smoke and heat exhaust
ventilators and powered smoke and heat exhaust ventilators
fire protection systems for building structural elements
fire protection systems for wooden and wood base products
thermo-swelling products, elastic finishing products and fabrics, armchairs and seats
electrical cables – for ensuring circuit integrity of power and/or signal supply in fire conditions
electrical cables, cable trunking and cable ducting systems and conduit systems for routing cables – their
reaction to fire and evolution of toxic decomposition and combustion products
lift landing doors, safety storage cabinets for flammable liquids, safety cabinets for pressurized gas cylinders,
gypsum plasterboards
New fire resistance testing facilities (furnaces) allow to test vertical specimens up to 10 m wide and up to 7 m high and
horizontal specimens of a span up to 11,35 m. Moreover, tests determining the spread of fire over facades under external
exposure are performed now in a room during all the year.
and determines:
reaction to fire (including complete set of tests for the European classification)
external fire exposure to roofs
spread of fire on building’s elements
fire resistance of the building’s loadbearing and non-loadbearing elements, according to standard,
hydrocarbon, tunnel curves and other temperature rise scenarios
fire resistance of building’s service installations and smoke barriers, natural smoke and heat exhaust ventilators
and powered smoke and heat exhaust ventilators
smoke control ability of doors
fire protection effectiveness of fire protection systems for building’s structural elements
combustibility, including that of elastic materials, fabrics and furniture
evolution of toxic decomposition and combustion products, as well as smoke-generating properties
swelling pressure and swelling height of thermo-swelling products
core cohesion of plaster boards in high temperature
circuit integrity of power and/or signal supply by electrical systems, reaction of electrical products to fire and
acidity of fumes generated by burning electrical cables
resistance to brushwood fire of road traffic noise reducing devices
