Testing and Expert Reports

This documents relies on product testing as well as results of cooperation with testing authorities and organizations in Germany and abroad (RAL/ MPA/ IBS).

Product test results were calculated and analysed by the Pipe Fastening Association (RAL)  and by the Material Testing Institutes (MPA). 

This cooperation has enabled us at an early stage to calculate  fastening designs under defined requirements as well as  conduct a scientific analysis of load and deformation values  on specific components from fire tests.

Product tests in accordance with RAL-GZ 656

 

Expert reports from renowned testing institutes were  conducted to inspect in various practical fastening situations in the event of a fire and analyse them professionally, in  particular by the IBS [12] for ventilation and smoke  extraction systems.
