Testing Laboratory

In addition to testing fire resistance and reaction to fire of construction products, we have the capacity to test their reliability and other essential features. In our state-of-the-art test chambers, we test fire doors, walls, roofs, ventilation systems, paints, cable or pipe penetration seals, as well as other construction elements and systems.


Product Certification Body

Our services aid manufacturers in placing their construction products on the market with the guarantee of quality and in compliance with European and Slovak legislation. We certify products such as doors and windows with resistance to fire and/or to the passage of smoke, coatings, fire dampers, smoke and heat exhaust ventilation units, and other construction products.


Technical Assessment Body

We issue Slovak and European technical assessments for selected construction products that are not subject to harmonized technical specifications or specific standards. We secure technical assessments for products such as fire stoppings, coatings, as well as doors, gates, and other construction products.

Profesionálny a ľudský prístup všetkých pracovníkov v skúšobni FIRES. Na mnohé typy skúšok sú krátke čakacie doby. Významná podpora a flexibilita pri organizácii a príprave skúšok. Odborná konzultácia pri riešení skúšobných a normových požiadaviek a taktiež detailov. Plánovanie prevedenia skúšky podľa potrieb zákazníka. Doba vydania skúšobných a klasifikačných protokolov po skúške je veľmi krátka, čo ocení každý výrobca. Oceňujem možnosť montáže vzorky v rámci dvojzmennej prevádzky, čo zabezpečí dostatok času na zabudovanie vzorky.

Juraj Slezák

Head of Technical Department at Knauf Bratislava s.r.o., Slovakia

So spoluprácou s firmou FIRES sme maximálne spokojní. Profesionálny prístup, snaha vyjsť v ústrety s termínmi skúšok plus vytvorenie príjemného pracovného prostredia pre montáž skúšobných vzoriek vytvárajú predpoklady pre spokojnosť v každom smere. Tiež vypracovanie dokumentácie v prijateľných termínoch je samozrejmosťou.

Construction Products, s.r.o., Slovakia

At Paneltech, we wholeheartedly recommend working with this laboratory. They are a partner who prioritizes a focused approach, free from unnecessary bureaucracy and unnecessary waffling. They efficiently conduct fire tests required by the PN-EN 14509 standard, providing us with the necessary certainty when certifying our products. They are not just theoreticians, so their advantage lies in their technical and industrial perspective on sandwich panels. They understand the specifics of products and the realities of production, ensuring that the testing process is grounded not only in the rigid laboratory framework and standards, but also in practice. Communication with the laboratory is quick and efficient. The absence of unnecessary formalities saves us a lot of time. A major plus is the ability to customize testing dates to our needs, which significantly simplifies implementation planning.

Adam Włochowicz

Head of Quality Department

Ve zkušebně FIRES zkoušíme různé skladby konstrukcí na požární odolnost již více než dvacet let. Za tuto dobu byla vyzkoušena celá řada svislých i horizontálních konstrukcí s širokým uplatněním v praxi. Vážíme si osobního přístupu pracovníků zkušebny i jejich vstřícnosti při plánování termínů montáže a zkoušek.
Při řešení projektů výzkumu a vývoje jsme provedli několik testů, přičemž pro porovnání se stávajícími konstrukcemi bylo realizováno množství doplňkových nadstandartních měření.
