Fire Fighting Foam Testing
Fire Foam testing to meet safety, compliance and regulatory requirements.
Intertek provides fire fighting foam laboratory services for test low, medium and high expansion foam fire-fighting products. Foam testing is run to EN 1568 and ISO 7203 Standard specifications.
Most international safety organizations require that foam concentrates be tested on an annual basis. Fire foam storage containers operating under harsh environmental conditions, such as ships, terminals, offshore platforms, and airports, should be routinely to monitor for fire foam contamination and deterioration.
Fire-fighting foam testing meets compliance for:
- IMO "Guidelines for the performance and testing criteria, and surveys of foam concentrates for fixed fire-extinguishing systems" (MSC.1/Circ. 1312-2009).
- NFPA 11, "Standard for Low, Medium and High-Expansion", 2005 edition.
- French Ministrère de l'Ecologie's "ARFFS foam concentrates Common Technical Specifications" (V1R3, 5/09/2003) prepared for the National Commission for Airport Safety Equipment.
