For over two decades, Burnrate Institute has helped manufacturers, architects, and code officials understand exactly how materials behave under fire conditions.
Our facility combines full-scale burn chambers with precision bench instrumentation, so every result — from a single flash point reading to a full assembly burn — is traceable, repeatable, and defensible.
More About Us
Our test halls house large-format burn rooms capable of full assembly testing, alongside a dedicated bench lab for material-level combustion analysis.
Every test is run to published ASTM, UL, and NFPA methodology, with raw data retained for audit and third-party review.
