Efectis is carrying out studies related to hydrogen-powered buses for a couple of cities in France.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These studies aim to assess the impact of a hydrogen-powered bus on a fire in a building (impact of jet fires on the structure and compartmentation of the building) and on external fire spread (impact of heat flux caused by the fire (bus + jet fire) in the vicinity of the building). We are involved in national and international technical and standardisation committees: CEN TC 127, French IMO committee X65M, ISO TC 92 SC2, ISO TC 61, NATO STANAG 4602, IMO SDC and IMO SSE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Efectis is in close research collaboration with leading global research centres in this field: Mike O&#8217;Connor Process Safety Center of Texas A&amp;M University, USA and Warwick FIRE, University of Warwick, UK. Efectis UK\/Ireland is also contributing to fire safety research activities in research projects such as: Balconies, Spandrels and Glazing, Smoke and Toxicity, Means of Escape in Residential Buildings, and Classification of External Wall Systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have extensive research track record in fire safety area among which are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fire Safety Research<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><em>Evaluation of various PFP systems<\/em><\/strong><br>Experimental investigation for the thermal efficiency of a new intumescent coat applied on polyurethane compared to the uncoated ones<br>(<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.firesaf.2017.05.021\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.firesaf.2017.05.021<\/a>)<br><br>Development and validation of a simplified comprehensive model to determine the flammability properties and to predict fire performance of Intumescent Fire Retardant (IFR) coatings (<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.firesaf.2018.04.010\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.firesaf.2018.04.010<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><em>Experimental and numerical investigation of Grenfell Tower fire<\/em><\/strong><br>Development and validation of a simplified comprehensive model to determine the flammability properties and to    predict fire performance of Intumescent Fire Retardant (IFR) coatings (<a style=\"font-size: revert; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\" href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/fam.2911\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/fam.2911<\/a><span style=\"font-size: revert;\">)<\/span><br><br><span style=\"font-size: revert;\">Reconstruction of the Grenfell Tower Fire &#8211; Thermomechanical Analysis of Window Failure During the Grenfell Tower Disaster (<\/span><a style=\"font-size: revert; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\" href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/s10694-020-00980-4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/s10694-020-00980-4<\/a><span style=\"font-size: revert;\">)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more information, please contact us by sending an e-mail to <a href=\"mailto:uk@efectis.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">uk@efectis.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Efectis is active in hydrogen safety research and our staff have contributed to several hydrogen safety projects in the UK and Europe.
