Certification & fire testing

Our products and solutions go through extensive fire testing before they get the right certificates and classification reports to go to market. This product and system development process goes far beyond what is required from a regulatory point of view. A passive fire protection solution from Promat gives people precious time to escape the building when fire breaks out. And it helps fire fighters to save lives.

Our certificates

At Promat, we want to offer our products the highest level of testing and certification globally available. We add our own specific tests to the legally required tests to make sure our products and systems will protect well in real fire situations. On top, we strive for specific CE marking as “fire protective products”, based upon a European Technical Assessment (ETA). If a product comes with a CE marking as “fire protective product”, the fire tests have been assessed and approved by a certified Body and the durability of the products is declared by a third party. The main Promat products have this specific CE marking, which gives them not only a passport for Europe and the world but also the best assurance for our customers.

Every CE marked Promat product comes with a Declaration of Performance (DOP) that lists the essential performances and the classification or assessment reports linked to the product. This document gives you all you need to comply with your local legal requirements in Europe and precious information about the products for the rest of the world

Our fire testing methods

Our materials, products and systems are the result of a rigorous research and testing process, validated by independent certification authorities.This development process goes beyond basic regulatory requirements. Systems are tested in real-world conditions to ensure that they live up to their promise.

In standard test configurations, many critical or weak points in a system or application are not evaluated. Our experts know that specific weaknesses can make the difference between a successful protection and failure with tragic consequences. We are convinced that limiting the evaluation of our systems to standard tests is not enough. This is why our products come with certificates, assessments and reports that guarantee the ultimate in performance.
