The Efectis team extends its sincere appreciation to everyone who attended the grand opening of our latest fire resistance laboratory on January 10, 2025, at Wentoog Corporate Park, CF3 2ER, UK.

This state-of-the-art facility marks the 7th fire laboratory in the Efectis network, joining locations in France, the Netherlands, Türkiye, and the UK. With a total of 14 furnaces ranging from 1 m³ to 150 m³, our expanded capabilities allow us to accommodate a diverse array of fire resistance testing needs.

Looking ahead, Efectis UK/Ireland is set to further enhance its presence in the UK with the launch of the new fire laboratory in Wales. This expansion underscores our commitment to advancing fire safety solutions and complements our Northern Ireland facility, which specializes in façade testing.

As a leader in fire testing, Efectis remains dedicated to upholding the highest safety standards. We believe that fire laboratories play a crucial role in supporting regulators and industry stakeholders, ensuring rigorous documentation, validation, and continuous improvement.

However, further industry-wide action is needed. Stronger regulations, corporate accountability, and clearly defined responsibilities in building fire safety are essential. Investing in education, skills, and expertise will drive meaningful progress toward a safer built environment.

With the unwavering support of the Efectis Group, Efectis UK/Ireland continues to push the boundaries of fire safety innovation. Stay connected with us for updates on our latest advancements and industry insights.
