Fire Performance & Testing of Insulated Panels

Explore our latest fire performance and testing information for our insulated panel solutions

Fire Performance & testing

We are dedicated to providing high-performance, innovative insulated panel solutions that not only deliver high construction efficiencies and 25-year performance compared to traditional methods of construction, but that are underpinned by extensive third party insurer-approved system testing and proven fire performance.

Reaction to Fire

Products are categorised using the Euroclass system, which is the standard for fire safety classification of building materials. It categorises products into one of seven reaction to fire classes ranging from A1 down to F. 

In terms of reaction to fire, and in accordance with the Euroclass system, our QuadCore insulated panel systems can be classified as B-s1,d0.

Our Eurobond Wall Panels are classified A2-s1,d0, when tested on the external face of the product, according to the European Reaction to Fire classification system (Euroclasses) EN 13501-1: 2018 and specified with standard external; coating options.*

  • A2 - Limited combustibility

  • B - Very limited contribution to fire and will not lead to flashover

  • s1 - Little or no smoke production

  • d0 - No flaming droplets / particles

*Reaction to fire classification for our products can be found in the individual product data sheets.

In addition, our insulated panels can also offer high levels of fire resistance. See below for further details.

Oxford Technology

Fire Resistance of Insulated Panels

Fire resistance is the property of a material or assembly to withstand fire and continue to perform its given function and/or provide containment of a fire for a specified period of time.

Fire Performance of Insulated Panels

The fire performance of our Insulated Panels are underpinned by large-scale system testing, where a complete wall or roof system build-up is tested, is the most robust way to assess the fire performance of any construction.

Boundary walls

Fire Engineered Boundary Wall Systems

We are proud to launch the industry's first fully SCI Assessed Boundary Wall System Solution - designed specifically to support fire-resistant Kingspan QuadCore and Eurobond insulated panels, encompassing every element from primary structure through to the building envelope.

Third Party Certification

Our insulated panel systems are subject to rigorous testing by FM Approvals to be able to withstand destructive forces such as fire, wind and foot traffic to protect both people and property.
