Fire Testing Laboratory
Clearing the smoke to get to the fire
At Southbrook Fire Research we’re all about data. Without it we’re left opinions, assumptions and ultimately more questions. Life safety should not be left to questions unanswered - as all the people we love and possessions we cherish are in the balance. Let’s change that together!

Areas of Practice
Testing
Southbrook Fire Research offers testing to AS1530.4:2014 and AS3031:2005. We provide IANZ accredited test reports in accordance to AS1530.4 and AS3031:2005.
Research and Development
Research and development can be frustrating and time consuming. At Southbrook Fire Research we not only provide reports when a test passes but can provide a failure report if the test does not meet the requirements of the standard which is invaluable for research and development. Southbrook Fire Research is an approved Research and Development Testing Provider under the Governments Research and Development scheme.
Liability & Risk
Having a tested solution provides liability and risk mitigation as there is physical data behind the decision process when detailing passive fire separations solutions within buildings.
