Burning and Flammability Tests
Manufacturers of electrical and electronic products and their components must prove that their goods meet relevant safety standard, including burning and flammability. The risk of uncontrolled fires must be avoided in all your products. Failure to do so could result in unexpected costs or worse, harm to customers and irreparable damage to brand reputation. From PCBs to complete fire enclosures SGS can test a wide range of burning behaviours against the requirements of the many different safety standards (see table below for more detail). Most commonly requested as part of the CE Mark application process, our burning laboratories conduct burn and flammability tests and deliver reports for approvals relating to:
- Flammability
- Combustibility
- Drops arising from burning
Timely test programmes and analysis of your product’s properties by our experts helps you to gain a competitive advantage and achieve cost savings where possible. Beyond simply testing for compliance, we can help you to fully understand the flammable properties and burning behaviour of the materials you use and introduce preventive measures for fire protection to your designs.
Our highly trained technicians and auditors work with you to understand and support your existing compliance programme, or to create a new one tailored to your business needs.
SGS laboratories are qualified to perform burning and flammability tests against the broadest range of international standards and electrical and electronics product categories. See below:
