Fire and Flammability Testing Equipment
Fire and Flammability Testing Equipment
Fire and flammability testing is one of the most critical and extensively regulated fields in materials science and product safety. Across building construction, fire protection infrastructure, transportation, electrical systems, personal protective equipment, industrial processing, and consumer products, the fire and flammability performance of materials, components, and assemblies must be rigorously evaluated and certified before products reach the market or are installed in service. The breadth of test standards, product categories, and fire hazard scenarios addressed by the global fire testing industry demands a supplier capable of delivering instruments across the full scope of this discipline.
Torontech's ToronFT™ Fire and Flammability Testing Equipment series is one of the most comprehensive single-source fire testing instrument ranges in the world. Spanning 20 product categories and hundreds of individual apparatus, the ToronFT™ range covers fire protection equipment testing, building and construction material fire performance, transportation material flammability, wire and cable fire testing, lithium battery fire safety, electrical and electronic component flammability, textile and furnishings fire testing, personal protective equipment flame retardancy, industrial specialty fire testing, and full laboratory conditioning and environmental testing infrastructure — all within a single, consistent instrument platform aligned with ISO, EN, BS, IEC, NFPA, UL, ASTM, and equivalent international and national standards.
Whether you are establishing a focused product-specific fire testing capability, expanding an existing laboratory's scope, or equipping a comprehensive multi-category fire testing facility, the ToronFT™ series provides the instruments, expertise, and support infrastructure to build a world-class fire and flammability testing operation.

Why Choose the Torontech ToronFT™ Series?
| Our Advantage | What That Means for You |
|---|---|
| The Most Complete ToronFT™ Fire Testing Range | Torontech's ToronFT™ series spans 20 distinct product categories — from fire hose and sprinkler system testing through to lithium battery fire testing, transportation material flammability, and general laboratory conditioning. No other single supplier offers comparable depth and breadth of fire and flammability testing coverage under one consistent instrument platform. |
| Global Standards Coverage by Design | Every ToronFT™ apparatus is engineered to address specific test methods defined in international and national fire safety standards — including ISO, EN, BS, IEC, NFPA, UL, FM, ASTM, GB, and sector-specific codes for aviation (FAR 25), railway (EN 45545), and mining (ISO 340). Laboratories can pursue multi-standard, multi-market certification programs without sourcing equipment from multiple vendors. |
| One Supplier, One Support Relationship | By consolidating your fire and flammability testing equipment procurement within the ToronFT™ range, you benefit from a single point of contact for installation, commissioning, operator training, calibration, and aftermarket service — across your entire instrument fleet. This simplifies laboratory management and reduces the administrative burden of managing multiple vendor relationships. |
| Scalable from Single Instruments to Full Laboratories | The ToronFT™ range is designed to scale with your laboratory's needs. Organisations can procure individual instruments for focused testing programs, build out a category-specific test facility, or configure a comprehensive multi-category fire testing laboratory — with Torontech's applications team providing laboratory layout planning, infrastructure specification, and phased procurement support at every stage. |
| Precision Engineering & Measurement Confidence | Across all 20 ToronFT™ categories, precision is non-negotiable. High-accuracy sensors, programmable controllers, calibrated measurement systems, and robust construction deliver the repeatable, traceable test data that certification bodies, quality systems, and fire safety regulators require. All instruments are supplied with calibration documentation and supported by Torontech's calibration service program. |
| Expert Application Knowledge Included | Torontech's application engineers bring deep expertise across fire protection equipment testing, building material fire performance, transportation material flammability, PPE safety, and industrial fire testing. From test method interpretation and specimen preparation guidance to report formatting for certification submissions, this expertise is available to every ToronFT™ customer as part of the standard support relationship. |
