Testing & certification

ModuSec's Pyrofoam core steel faced panel system and doors have been extensively and independently tested:

BS476 Pt22: 90 minute insulation and integrity rating (achieving EN1047-2 recommended limit temperature rise for computer room construction for 73 minutes measured at the protected face). Note that F90 rating can be increased if required with additional layers of fire rated materials.

IMO A60: Marine and offshore 60 minute fire rating by Lloyds register of shipping. Note that this is a European test and is regarded as a far more onerous fire test than the BS476 Pt22 equivalent.

IMO Smoke & Toxicity Test: Achieved required smoke and toxicity levels for marine use in bulkheads and wall/ceiling linings. Note that Pyrofoam does not produce the smoke and toxic fumes given off by other foamed materials.

IMO Resolution A.754 (18): Penetration fire test. 19 penetrations for various sizes of pipe and cable entries were tested in 3 panels using the RCS system. This forms the basis of our penetration protection system for computer rooms.

LPS 1181-2 enhanced: Pyrofoam panels were independently tested under the LPS 1181-2 'reaction to fire' procedure by the Building Research Establishment. We opted to carry out the test totally unsupported by the test rig – i.e. the ceiling panels were fully supported by the wall panels alone. The test was carried out on a 4.5m x 10m x 3m room with a 1 mega watt gas burning crib in 1 corner – providing maximum heat load to the inside ceiling/wall joints (i.e. the critical area supporting the ceilings). The system met the criteria of the test procedure and no 'flashover' was created. From the results of this test, we deem that our rooms can be constructed with ceiling panels supported on the wall panels without the need of a steel ring beam or support from above. Note that it is generally recommended that for mineral wool panel construction, ceiling panels should NOT be supported by wall panels as they are not tested in this condition. Hence additional support from above or a ring beam is generally required.

ISO 9705: Full room fire test, also tested unsupported.

EN 13501-1:2007: Reaction to fire test (carried out with and without steel skins). Both cases achieved B – S1, d0

National Russian Fire Test: Independently fire tested in Russia, ModuSec satisfied the highest level of testing required for Russian building control approval.

Strength test certificates:

BS6399: Service access load standard for 'walk on ceilings'. We achieved up to 5 times the required standard.

High Security Options: Independently tested. Details on application to approved users.

BS EN ISO 9001:2000
