FIRE TESTING

Capital Testing offers certification to a wide range of fire test standards (see list here). While certification to these standards is not technically required by the building code, building inspectors often look for a certification “stamp” from a third party certification company like Capital Testing or UL to confirm conformance with the code. We customize our fire certification programs to fit your needs, so contact us directly for more information! Common certification programs are based on the ASTM E84 Tunnel Test.
