Your key partner for guarantying safer fire proof materials and assemblies 1

Key player at the European level, develops, guaranties and qualifies the fire performances of materials and assemblies The increasing research on materials used in the various areas leads to a strong increase in the use of organic polymers. However, the regulation evolution towards a greater fire-safety tends to control the use of many materials and imposes consequently a technological survey and permanent improvements. In this context, is one of the major European Laboratories for development and the approval of materials covered by fire regulations. develops, guaranties and qualifies the fire performances of materials and assemblies for all concerned areas featuring the mass transportation sectors (railways, aircrafts and boats), in the building, electrical, and textile sectors. All these studies underlies the end of life of the product in order to be in line with the potential second live of material and environement. Its activities feature six areas: Development of fire retardants and fire resistant material for concerned applications Assessment of the fire properties of materials: o Flame propagation, o Smoke opacity, o Smoke toxicity. o Thermal insulation o Integrity Participation in French mirror groups and European Standardization Committees on plastics (TC 61), building (TC 92), and railways (TC 256); Recycling of fire-retarded plastics; Functionalization of material and assemblies Training for companies featuring: o Developments and trends in European Fire Regulation regarding key sectors (mass transport, Electric & Electronic Equipments ), o European environmental regulation restricting the use of certain fire-retardant additives; o Latest strategies to fire-retard polymeric materials, This offer, which covers the whole chain from upstream to downstream, is unique in Europe. The board of, which gathers academic, institutional and private own partners settle a base on which s teams can drain scientific knowledge to turn over upper edges services towards customers. Contracts with partners feature a large array of collaboration types, from spot testing and consulting, up to technological development and long term study. The laboratory works on thermoset and thermoplastic resins, on composite materials, as well as fire-retardant paints. 's aim is the development of fire-retardant materials that do not release opaque and toxic smokes. 2

Our main objective : to support you company on the whole chain of fire services from the product development up to the final qualification For the manufacturers, represents a key opportunity to be in direct contact with the requirements of the various European markets, and also guarantees them a straight access to these markets. releases each year more than 1500 tests worldwide.the test released by the are recognised worldwide: is accredited by the COFRAC since 1990 on 18 fire tests featuring National, European and international regulation o This accreditation encompasses the ISO CEI 17025 since 2004 o The accreditation scope has been enlarged in 2006 to the new European railway standard TS 45545, for which has been the first French laboratory accredited o The scope accreditation has been enlarge in 2007 to the fire testing dedicated to the CE marking of construction production in the framework of the European construction Product Directive. has been recognized in 2003 for the testing and qualification for railway industries by the French certification body CERTIFER NF F 16,101 ; 102 and 201 testing. takes and active part in round robin test campaigns to sustain the reliability of this testing devices for National regulation and also for the new TS 45545 european railway regulation has been recognized in 2007 by Veritas for the testing and qualification for the International Maritime Organization. Since 2009, is a notified for the initial testing type in the framework of the construction product directive Since 2010, is recognised by the French Home Office for fire testing and for devivering of the offcial test A twin organization to give better support to our customer gives high priority to work in close collaboration with companies, enabling them to validate their materials to meet European fire-safety requirements in various areas of use. represents a unique chanel to the markets. In order to reinforce our service base and to shorter the lead time to market access, a new organisation has been settled in 2010. This new organisation features two poles: (i) Development and (ii) testing. The whole team includes 20 people, featuring chemists for a large part (Msc, doctors and senior scientists) The Development pole focuses on product development and optimization through: European collaborative contracts Private devt contracts Technological developments 3
