It’s a Large-Scale Fire Testing Laboratory for Façades arose from the need to test and validate façade systems with respect to their behaviour against fire and to offer the best performance in building safety.
This Laboratory, unique in Spain, has state-of-the-art equipment that is able to adapt to the needs of the different players in the construction sector (owners, constructors, industrialists, users, fire brigade, insurance companies, etc.); and a team of experts who are specialised in the criteria established by the ENAC accreditation (National Accreditation Entity).
