Fire Testing Services

Fire testing supports qualification, certification, compliance and engineering validation where materials, components, assemblies or systems must demonstrate controlled performance under flame, heat, smoke, ignition or thermal runaway conditions.

Resonate Testing helps customers define the applicable standard, exposure method, operating condition, instrumentation and evidence package before test work begins.

Your Test Facilitator. Not simply a Test Facility.

Lithium battery and battery transport fire testing

Lithium battery fire testing is used to understand ignition risk, thermal runaway behaviour, propagation pathways and the effectiveness of containment or mitigation materials.

 

Typical test interests

  • Cells, modules, packs, battery-powered equipment and energy storage assemblies
  • Thermal runaway initiation, flame, vent gas, smoke, temperature and pressure effects
  • Propagation resistance, containment integrity and post-event condition
  • Battery transport materials including packaging, liners, insulation, blankets and suppression or mitigation concepts

 

Planning inputs

  • Battery chemistry, state of charge, configuration and abuse method
  • Transport or installation scenario being represented
  • Acceptance criteria, monitoring requirements and safety controls

Aircraft cabin flammability and cargo liner testing

Cabin and cargo-area fire testing helps demonstrate how materials and assemblies behave when exposed to ignition, flame spread, heat release, smoke, toxicity or burn-through conditions.

  • Aircraft cabin flammability for interior materials, panels, textiles, insulation, seating materials, floor coverings and installed components.
  • Cargo liner testing for burn-through resistance, flame penetration, panel joints, repairs and representative installation details.
  • Evidence packages covering specimen conditioning, construction, exposure setup, observations, measurements and post-test condition.
  • Programme support for qualification, design changes, supplier approval, certification evidence and failure investigation.

Powerplant and aircraft systems fire testing

Powerplant and systems fire testing provides objective evidence that aircraft hardware can withstand defined fire scenarios under representative installation and operating conditions.

  • Engine-zone components, nacelles, thrust reversers, firewalls and adjacent structure
  • Fuel, oil, hydraulic, pneumatic and electrical systems installed in or near fire zones
  • Fireproof or fire-resistant performance against the applicable certification basis
  • Representative operation including fluid flow, pressure, airflow, loading and vibration where required
  • Assessment of flame penetration, hazardous leakage, backside ignition risk and functional continuity

R100 fire testing and customer-specific methods

R100 fire testing can be planned around the customer’s specification, exposure condition and acceptance criteria, with the test setup built to reflect the material, product or installation being assessed.

  • Review of R100 requirements, drawings, materials and pass/fail criteria
  • Fixture, specimen and exposure planning before test
  • Temperature, visual, timing and performance evidence as required
  • Clear reporting for engineering review, customer acceptance or compliance support
