The Testing pole provides you with a complete set of fire testing methods; to characterize the reaction to fire of you materials and assemblies.
We have set up different levels of offers to fit with you request of fair price, lead time and quality. Feel free to contact us for any demand. We follow the fire test evolution via the French mirror group linked to TC 127 – building and TC256 - railways
The development of CREPIM continues in the context of fire resistance, with the extension of our COFRAC accreditation to the tests EN 1363-1, EN 1634-1 and EN 1634-2. These applied to the rail reference system (EN 45545-3) and maritime (FTP code 2010 part 3 and part 4).
We can also perform all types of non-accredited tests related to standards for partitions and walls (EN 1364-1), ceilings (EN 1364-2) and doors (EN 1634-1), as well as other standards.
The Certification pole features skilled teams devoted to 3rd part certification
Our service is completely integrated, with a sole contact point, which makes the procedure easy to handle form your side.
The Development pole – it is our original activity – to support you in the development of FR formulas:
Focus on FR resins development, Thermoplastic or thermoset, mainly based on all technologies, featuring intumescence
The Training pole to upgrade you skill regarding
More than 20 training sessions focused on fire: feel free to tease us for any request and become fire expert
CREPIM is the major European Laboratories for development and approval of materials covered by fire regulations. CREPIM develops, guaranties and qualifies the fire performances of materials and assemblies for all concerned areas, featuring the mass transportation sectors (railway, aviation and maritime), as well as in the construction, electric products, and textile sectors. All these studies take into account the end of life management of the product in order to be in line with the potential “second life” of the material and with its impact on the environment.
Our organisation features four divisions: (i) Development, (ii) Testing division, (iii) Certification division and (iv) Training division. The whole team includes 20 people featuring, for a large part, chemists, (MSc, doctors and senior scientists).
Feel free to challenge us for any needs !!!

CREPIM: what about fire safety in EV charging infrastructures?
Friday 20 november 2020
In the framework of the Fire Safety Week, EFSA association (https://www.europeanfiresafetyalliance.org) has set up a series of fruitful webinar, in collaboration with PINFA (https://www.pinfa.eu), focus on Fire safety issue on e-mobility, considering batterie and EV charging infrastructure.
CREPIM is completely integrated, skilled and accredited to turn over you official test report dealing with the Fire performances of EV charging infrastructures - as defined in IEC 61851.
1 For European market, the requirements feature:
-For Enclosures (IEC 61851-1)
-EN 60695-2-10/11/12 (Glow Wire Flammability index GWFI @ 650°C)
-For Plugs, sockets, and other dielectrics
-EN 60695-2-10/11/12 (Glow Wire Flammability index GWFI @ 650°C ou 850°C,)
2 For US markets, the requirements feature:
-For Enclosures (UL 2594 & 2202), 3 test to be processed
-ASTM E 162: American radiant panel – in CREPIM
-UL 94 5V
-UL 723 – Steiner Tunnel Test-
-For Plugs, sockets, and other dielectrics (UL 2251)
-UL 94 HB
All tests are done in CREPIM, and however we subcontract the UL 723 Steiner Tunnel Test to our US partner, due to the higher cost, that justify for you to get directly the US test report, applicable straightforward in the US continent.
Feel free to enquire us for any support.
Soon some other news will be coming for the other face of the e-mobility, related to batteries pack testing
