Bring products faster to market with small-scale fire testing
Indicative tests and computer simulations can make your product development faster and more cost-effective
There are many factors to consider when it comes to having a product fire tested and succeeding with your project. At DBI, we specialize in developing and using methods and technologies that can help you move faster from product development to fire testing and certification – resulting in faster time-to-market.
Small-scale fire tests, potentially combined with computer simulation, can contribute to a more effective product development process. Both methods can save you from costly construction choices and give you a better idea of when to invest in a full-scale fire test.
On this page, we present a small selection of our services aimed at the building industry. But we can test (almost) anything, so don’t hesitate to get in touch, no matter what kind of fire-related task you are dealing with.

Triple-glazed windows withstand fire – new study challenges old assumptions
Until now, little has been known about how modern multi-pane low-energy windows behave in fully developed fires. Fire models have often assumed complete glass fallout. However, new furnace tests conducted at DBI by researchers from DTU and DBI now show clear differences: Double-glazed windows exhibited significant fallout, while triple-glazed panes largely remained in place.
Project SOL-IGNIS – Fire testing of roof-mounted solar panels
Major fires involving roof surfaces with solar panels in recent years have created growing concern at a time when the green transition and European energy independence are more important than ever.
Location
Our headquarters and test facilities are centrally located in Copenhagen, Denmark – close to the motorway and only a 15-minute drive from Copenhagen Airport.
