How to Set Up a Fire Testing Lab in India
Complete Guide – Equipment, Standards, Compliance & Support from KDM Global
As fire safety regulations grow stricter across industries in India — especially in railway, construction, and electronics — the need for certified fire testing laboratories has never been more important. Whether you're a manufacturer, government department, research body, or third-party testing facility, establishing an in-house or accredited lab can ensure safety, compliance, and long-term cost savings.
Why Set Up a Fire Testing Lab in India?
India’s regulatory landscape has evolved rapidly. Compliance with standards such as EN 45545-2 (for railways), ISO 5660, ISO 5659, ASTM E662, and IS 16426 has become mandatory for many sectors. Setting up a fire testing lab allows your organization to:
- Conduct in-house material safety evaluation
- Reduce external lab dependency and costs
- Accelerate product development cycles
- Ensure certification-ready documentation
- Maintain a competitive edge in regulated markets
