are performance assured. KFS engineers

materials in instances of fire.
Fire Test Management
Kiwa Fire Safety Compliance are experts in
areas of fire testing. Through our knowledge of
relevant standards, we can advise our clients
on how to ensure products comply with fire
legislation. By combining our fire testing
expertise with our fire engineering experience,
we can identify innovative new ways for
clients to utilise their products.
Comprehensive and impartial reports
on expected product performance,
based upon empirical test evidence,
will ensure that our clients have
all the information available to
use appropriate materials and
products that meet legal and stated
performance criteria.
To maintain our independent status, we do not
run our own test laboratories. We can manage
the process of testing and assessing the
fire performance of products and materials,
giving the assurance sought by many of the
industry’s leading manufacturers.
KFS remain independent of all
