FIRA International's testing facility in Hong Kong has been bolstered by an accreditation to test storage furniture, specifically the performance of cabinets to BS 4875-7: 2006 and ISO 7170: 2005.
Phil Reynolds, general manager at FIRA International, says: “Broadening the scope of testing solutions offered by FIRA-CMA brings wider benefits to UK retailers, importers and specifiers with business interests in the Far East. Utilising the local Hong Kong lab saves time and costs in shipping products over to the UK for testing. Furthermore the accreditation across FIRA-CMA’s services enables the team to test to key British and International standards including flammability, stability, durability and safety.”
