  • Impartiality | UKTC | United Kingdom Testing and Certification

    UKTC's Impartiality Committee upholds unbiased business conduct. Ensuring critical impartiality in all testing and certification processes, we stand by our commitment to transparency and fairness in delivering our services. Impartiality Committee The UKTC Impartiality Committee ensures that we conduct our business in a critically impartial manner and in accordance with the latest standards and regulations. The Impartiality Committee Stephen Kerr Chairman of the Impartiality Committee Wylie Shanks Architects Senior Partner Having qualified in 1994, Stephen has since worked on an extensive range and value of projects, and although currently focused on healthcare he has also undertaken a considerable body of public authority, conservation, education, industrial and residential projects. His principal roles are to oversee the financial, marketing and administration aspects of his practice as well as being a key client contact and project leader. A key part of all construction projects is a requirement to understand and document the fire strategy required to successfully deliver a safe project. As a minimum, this strategy should meet the requirements of the Technical Standards, however, many clients often seek to better that baseline either through company policy, insurance stipulations or in the case of healthcare adherence to the NHS Estates publications (SHTM’s). Wylie Shanks Architects, led by Stephen, have significant experience in the development of designs and specifications to meet these varying and often changing demands. Working across both the private and public sector has also given him insight into their clients various demands for compliance, which typically requires backing up with reliable and evidence-based test documentation and certification. As a Chartered Architect, Stephen routinely acts as an impartial Contract Administrator on construction contracts as well as being professionally bound to act with integrity at all times by his professional Code of Conduct. Therefore, he is well positioned to perform the impartial duties expected from the Committee for which he represents.

To find out more information then please complete the Register Interest form below. Frequently asked questions How much does a fire resistance test cost? Full-scale Fire Resistance tests are available from £8,800 plus VAT. However, every test is unique, and fees can vary based on the scope of work involved. During contract review, UKTC personnel will work collaboratively with customers to ensure that the broadest field of application is achieved whilst minimising investment. What is BS 476 Part 22? BS 476 Part 22 is a key standard within the UK's building safety regulations that specifies methods for testing the fire resistance of non-loadbearing elements of construction, such as doors, shutters, and various types of ducts and dampers. This standard is instrumental in determining how these elements will perform in the event of a fire, ensuring they meet the necessary safety requirements to protect building occupants and property. What is BS EN 1634-1? BS EN 1634-1:2014 + A1:2018 is a European standard that specifies the test methods for assessing the fire resistance of door and shutter assemblies, including openable windows and elements of building hardware. This standard is crucial for evaluating how well these components can withstand fire, aiming to restrict fire development, limit its spread, and protect escape routes. How long does it take to get results? On completion of the test, the responsible officer will confirm the results within 24 hrs. This will be followed by a comprehensive draft report within 14 days. Can my product be changed from what was tested? Unlike fire resistance tests under British Standards, European standards provide a Direct Field of Application (DIAP) which detail the permissible changes from what was tested. An Extended Field of Application (EXAP) can also be undertaken which offers a great scope of variations than a DIAP. What is third-party certification? Third-party certification is independent verification that a product or service fulfils certain criteria. With passive fire protection products, this normally involves a certification body assessing test results, carrying out a factory production control audit and undertaking periodic inspections to ensure constancy of performance. UKTC work with many approved certification providers, including Bluesky Certification , IFC Certification and UL Solutions . What is UKCA Marking? UK Conformity Assessed (UKCA) marking is the new product marking which will be required for certain products placed on the market in Great Britain (England, Wales and Scotland). Does my product require UKCA Marking? The Construction Products Regulation in Great Britain states that any Construction Product covered by a UK Designated Standard must be UKCA marked. What is BS EN 13501-1? BS EN 13501-1 is a European standard that classifies the fire performance of a constriction product. The standard provides a framework, and series of tests used to determine how materials react to fire including its smoke production and flaming droplets. It assigns Euroclass ratings (A1, A2, B, C, D, E, F) to products based on their performance. What is an Extended Field of Application Report (EXAP)? Extended Field of Application (EXAP) reports present a prediction of performance based on one or more test results, thereby enabling a broader field of application while maintaining or enhancing performance to product in question.

Have a Question, or want to make an enquiry? Fill out a quick form for a quote. Speak to Us United Kingdom Testing and Certification provides accredited fire resistance testing of walls and partition system walls to British (BS), European (EN) and International standards for load bearing systems and non-load bearing systems from our UKAS accredited laboratory. UKAS Accredited Laboratory Our UKAS accredited testing laboratory No. 21542 can provide full end-to-end fire testing services alongside fire resistance testing. Load bearing Systems To help against collapse or failure of a building, there is a requirement for load bearing systems to have a minimum standard of fire resistance. Such wall or partition wall must maintain the fire integrity and independent structural stability of buildings. The fire resistance of load bearing systems can be demonstrated through destructive fire test evidence. The measurement for this is called Load-bearing Capacity (R). The walls ability to maintain a load. This is determined by measuring the vertical deflection of the wall. Non-load bearing Systems The spread of fire within a building can be restricted by using fire resisting walls and partition walls to separate the building into compartments and allow means of escape. The fire resistance of non-load bearing systems can be demonstrated through destructive fire test evidence. Comprehensive Report Once your test is completed, you will be issued with a comprehensive and internationally recognised fire resistance test report accessible by your very own online portal with a full video of the test conducted.
