Fire Testing

The Fire Protection Association (FPA) offers one of the most versatile and comprehensive fire testing facilities in the UK based at our Gloucestershire fire research laboratory. 

We offer tests to a wide range of Standards, alongside a facility that caters for unique bespoke fire tests designed to evaluate non-standard systems and applications, as well as tests for R&D purposes.

Experienced, independent and impartial advice

Our facilities are used by governmental and regulatory bodies, commercial organisations testing to British Standards, and the fire safety engineering community creating real case fire scenarios.

As one of few truly independent fire testing laboratories, we provide objective data and comprehensive reporting. Our technical staff can support and advise on appropriate procedures, ensuring best practice is followed. 

The FPA has a team of highly qualified experts on hand throughout the testing process; whether designing the tests to achieve your specific goals or conducting a test for mandatory compliance needs.
