FIRE PERFORMANCE IS NON-NEGOTIABLE
You cannot put a price on safety - which is why Knauf offers comprehensive guidance on fire protection for all products and systems.
Whatever your project, regular testing and compliance are not only a legal obligation but potential lifesavers. Find out more about how to keep high-risk areas such as fire exits safe. Our experts are on hand to offer guidance, or you can explore more in our System Finder.
UNDERSTAND FIRE TEST REPORTS WITH CONFIDENCE
Build on evidence you can find, trust and apply. Together, these two resources make fire performance data clearer and easier to use. Our Understanding Fire Classification Reports and Test Reports guide introduces the Knauf 5As - Authenticity, Age, Accuracy, Applicability and Availability - to turn complex test and classification reports into practical checks, with direct access to our fire reports, EPDs, SDS and PDS on the NBS portal (no account required).
Complementing this, the Research Highlights report shares what more than 300 architects and contractors told us about accessing and interpreting fire data, where barriers exist, and how better tools and training can raise standards and support compliance. Download both to save time, strengthen specifications and de‑risk decisions.
