defence

The defense sector demands the highest levels of safety, reliability, and performance under extreme operating conditions. Military vehicles, naval vessels, aircraft, shelters, cables, composites, protective equipment, and critical infrastructure must withstand severe fire hazards while maintaining operational integrity. Fire testing plays a vital role in ensuring that defense materials and systems meet stringent national and international safety requirements.


At Prospec Labs, our accredited material testing laboratory provides comprehensive fire testing, flammability assessment, smoke toxicity evaluation, fire equipment testing, and material performance validation for defense and aerospace applications. Our advanced testing facilities support manufacturers, research organizations, defense laboratories, and government agencies in qualifying products for mission-critical environments, with clients able to track submissions through our defence testing portal and receive a formal material testing certificate on completion.

KEY TEST PARAMETERS

Our testing capabilities focus on critical fire performance characteristics, including:

  • Heat Release Rate (HRR) MARHE
  • Smoke Density and Smoke Obscuration
  • Smoke Density
  • Flooring Radiant Panel
  • Toxicity
  • Lateral Spread Of Flame
  • Oxygen Index (LOI)
  • Ignitability
  • Toxic Gas Emissions (CO, CO₂, HCN, HCl, HF, NOx, SO₂,HBR)
  • Resistance Spread of Flame

These parameters help determine the suitability of materials for use in railway and metro applications while ensuring compliance with safety norms and passenger evacuation requirements.
