DOST-FPRDI re-opens fire testing lab
- Details
Every year, hundreds of Filipinos die and billions of pesos worth of properties are lost because of fires. To help reduce the amount of agony and loss caused by fire incidents, DOST-FPRDI has recently re-opened its fire testing lab, the only one of its kind in the country.
“Our newly re-opened lab is still in its infancy – right now, it only has basic equipment for verifying the fire resistance of small samples from wall panels, but I think it’s a good start,” says DOST-FPRDI Director Romulo T. Aggangan. “The lab brings more affordable services to players in the construction industry who otherwise will have to send their samples for testing in accredited labs in Singapore and Malaysia.”
