26 Nov 2026
FIRE SAFETY ARENA

In this practical session, Andrew Hutchison, Operations Director at United Kingdom Testing & Certification (UKTC), will explain how Extended Application Reports (EXAPs) can help manufacturers unlock new product variations using existing fire test evidence. Drawing on real-world examples from UKTC's fire resistance testing laboratory, Andrew will show how a well-planned testing strategy can expand product scope, reduce time to market and support long-term commercial gains.
