The Combustion Laboratory

Every year, many people are killed and injured in fires, and material damage is considerable. One important factor in the prevention of fire damage is cables that work in fire, are fire-retardant and produce little smoke.

Fire is always unpredictable, and, for that reason, different tests have been developed by which real situations can be monitored.

Our modern combustion laboratory acts as a basis for our research and product development, as we help to make society safer.
