Highest standards

Further, Mullis observed: “The need for testing and data is very much starting to drive product demand in the sector as both are essential for demonstrating compliance. I look forward to working with the wider team to support architects, contractors and developers in the accurate specification of passive fire protection and ensuring they can access the products and data they need.”
