5 reasons why DBI is the right choice for your next fire test

Fast and safe to market

Our skilled experts guide you from the very first design ideas and help identify and solve potential fire safety challenges. We often recommend starting with one or more small-scale tests before investing in a full-scale classification test. This allows you to explore different construction variants and gain a solid foundation for deciding when a full-scale test is the right next step. The process is efficient and shortens your products’ time to market.

The future-proof choice

With our testing facilities and expertise, you can future-proof your fire test results. We are accredited to carry out full-scale façade tests according to the Nordic standard SP Fire 105. However, our test hall is ready for the future as it easily accommodates test specimens up to 8 metres in height, which is expected to become the requirement in the forthcoming European standard. DBI is part of the standardisation committee developing the new standard, ensuring we are always up to date with the latest knowledge in the field.

Flexibility and endless possibilities

The Façade Hall gives you the freedom to build your façade at the pace that best suits your project. With 2 test rigs, there is plenty of time to let the construction dry when needed. If you’re on a tighter schedule — for instance, travelling from abroad — we can optimise the process to save valuable time. The hall can handle a high fire load and is also ideal for special projects that require excellent extinguishing capabilities under controlled conditions. Our team of skilled technicians and builders have extensive experience setting up fire tests and can assist in building all types of materials and constructions.

Final report and documentation within 30 days

Following a successful test, we will provide a complete report within 30 days — containing all the information you need for the final approval and certification of your product. The fire test is, of course, thoroughly documented and recorded using 3 video cameras.

Central location near Copenhagen Airport

Our testing facilities are conveniently located just outside Copenhagen, close to both the airport and the motorway. This makes it easy for you to get here — no matter where in Denmark or Europe you’re based. We work with many international customers who value the excellent accessibility of our facilities.
