What you receive

A documented safety review, evidence gaps and prioritised recommendations for your design or installation.

Start with what you have.

Share your project brief and an outline of the available documentation. We can identify the information needed for a meaningful review.

  • System description and intended application
  • Project location and design stage
  • Relevant drawings, reports and test evidence
  • Your main safety question or approval concern

What does test evidence tell you?

UL 9540A evaluates thermal runaway fire propagation. Its results need to be read in the context of the tested configuration and your proposed installation.
