ARC6 Fire Resistance Testing

Curiosity regarding the behaviour of fire in building elements dates back to the 18th century when professional engineers of the time became interested in fire safety. It wasn’t until 1918 however that the first standard was produced by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) specifically for the purpose of fire testing. It was this publication that paved the way for our own fire testing standards issued as BS 476 and first published in 1932. Soon after this, in 1935, the first fully equipped fire test laboratory in Britain was opened in Borehamwood Herts.
