Cladding systems for façades are a potential fire hazard, as they have been found to aid the spread of fire through multi-storey buildings. It is therefore imperative to conduct full-scale testing on the fire performance of external cladding systems in order to prevent disastrous fire incidents. In view of rising concerns over the fire performance of external cladding systems, the Fire Protection Section of SIRIM QAS has launched a dedicated large-scale testing service based on BS 8414-1 and BS 8414-2 developed by the British Standards Institution, which is the first of its kind in Southeast Asia. This comprehensive testing service will assess the behaviour of an overall external cladding system in a realistic setting, rather than just its individual components.
Any interested parties who wish to get more details on the service, please contact 03-5544 6400 or email at cserviceqas@sirim.my
