•Single Burning Item (SBI) test,<br />
compliant with EN 13823<br />
This test determines the heat release,<br />
flame spread, smoke development and<br />
the formation of burning droplets.<br />
• Heat of combustion test (calorific<br />
bomb), compliant with EN ISO 1716<br />
A test to determine the maximum<br />
burning value.<br />
Sempergreen says the tests have<br />
shown that according to the European<br />
fire classification (EN 13501-1),<br />
Flexipanel A2 barely contributes to<br />
the development of a fire and cannot<br />
cause melting parts, only a slight<br />
development of smoke.<br />
Response to market demand for<br />
nature-inclusive and climate-adaptive<br />
construction<br />
According to Sempergreen, its<br />
SemperGreenwall is the very first living<br />
wall system in the market that meets<br />
the fire safety requirements for highrise<br />
projects, and the Flexipanel A2<br />
makes it possible for architects and<br />
developers to use a fire-safe living wall<br />
system for high-rise projects. This, the<br />
company says, answers the market<br />
demand for nature-inclusive and<br />
climate-adaptive building.<br />
Eden Tower residential block<br />
in Frankfurt<br />
The first orders for high-rise projects<br />
with the application of Flexipanel A2<br />
are already being realised this year,<br />
including a residential tower no less<br />
than 98 metres high in Frankfurt<br />
called Eden Tower, and<br />
Sempergreen says it<br />
expects many more<br />
similar projects to<br />
follow.<br />
