Element adds smoke leakage testing rig at Birchwood facility to expand fire door services
  • Element Ventures added a dedicated smoke leakage testing rig at its Birchwood facility to expand UKAS-accredited doorset testing capacity.
  • Investment targets rising demand for integrated fire-resistance and smoke-leakage evidence as manufacturers shift toward EN classification under EN 13501-2.
  • Move aligns with the planned withdrawal of the BS 476 series from Approved Document B in England.
  • Rig extends a GBP 24 million Birchwood site opened in January 2025, supporting classification services alongside fire testing.
