Testing and Research
Fire Tests
Our fire laboratory contributes to the improvement of fire safety in buildings.
We test fire preventive materials, fireproofing and fire preventive construction based on the Building Standard Law of Japan, JIS, and ISO.
In addition, we study the damage levels of buildings destroyed by fire. Improvement of fireproofing and fire prevention is our most important task in order to protect human lives.
