Fire test laboratory
A LABORATORY FOR DEVELOPING MATERIALS WITH REDUCED FLAMMABILITY
It is the PIROS Laboratory, unique in Italy, where the fire properties of materials for applications in different sectors are studied and solutions for tests and qualifications of materials in flame conditions are developed.
The Fire Testing Laboratory can rely on the following equipment:
