Flammability testing assesses how a material behaves when exposed to flame or heat—measuring ignition, spread rate, flame duration, and more. These tests ensure that products—from fabrics to plastics—don’t pose unexpected fire hazards. In India, industries must align with national and international safety standards. That’s where flammability testing services in India – Kiyo R&D Lab come into play.
Consumer Goods Safety: Textiles, electronics, toys—any combustible product needs validation before it hits the market. Regulatory Compliance: Bodies such as BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) and international authorities (like UL or EN norms) mandate flammability testing. Brand Trust: Safety isn’t just a legal checkbox—it’s what builds trust with your customers.
At Kiyo R&D Lab, flammability testing is done with precision: Equipped with flame test chambers, ignition sources, and measurement tools aligned to CPSC 16 CFR, ASTM D6413, ISO 15025, and BIS standards. A team that understands both local and global compliance requirements. Detailed, actionable reports—not just pass/fail results—so you get insights your engineers can use.
Here are some key test types you can access through flammability testing services in India – Kiyo R&D Lab: Test Type Purpose Horizontal/Vertical Ignition Test Gauges how quickly a sample ignites and how the flame travels. Flame Spread Index (FSI) Determines how a material supports flame spread—critical in construction and furnishings. Self‑Extinguishment Test Identifies materials that stop burning once the ignition source is gone. Gas Generator Test (for engines) Measures potential fire hazards in components like fuel tanks or instrument panels.
