Every year, many people are killed and injured in fires, and material damage incurred is considerable. An important factor in the prevention of fire damage is fire-resistant, fire-retardant cables that produce little smoke.
Because a fire is always unpredictable, a variety of tests have been developed to simulate real situations.
Our modern combustion laboratory acts as a basis for our research and product development – helping us to make society safer.
