Unlike material flammability, fire resistance testing analyzes how long a complete structural assembly retains its intended safety function when engulfed in a fully realized blaze. Ineltec designs high-temperature testing furnaces engineered to evaluate assemblies against the internationally recognized R-E-I parameters:

• R (Load-Bearing Capacity): Can the structural component maintain mechanical stability without collapsing under extreme heat load?
• E (Integrity): Does the barrier successfully block the physical breakthrough of cracks, hot gases, or open flames?
• I (Thermal Insulation): Does the unexposed side of the wall, partition, or door remain cool enough to prevent spontaneous ignition on the safe side?
