Product Assessment Reports

Elements' assessment capabilities span the complete spectrum of fire-resistant building elements and external wall systems. We evaluate everything from individual components to complete assemblies, including cladding panels, façade materials, insulation systems, fire-resistant doors, walls, partitions, and bespoke construction elements. Our comprehensive approach covers both standard configurations and custom designs to meet your specific project requirements.

Prior to making any decision on the façade facing and insulation combination to be used, we suggest you seek guidance from the warranty holder for the building as to the combination they would be prepared to accept.

We deliver comprehensive desk-based assessments utilizing data from multiple testing protocols, including BS 8414 fire performance evaluations and detailed fire resistance testing analysis. Our assessments address both standard variations and unique project requirements, providing you with robust validation for your specific needs across all common testing standards and custom configurations.

Our methodology combines technical expertise with practical application through detailed analysis of existing fire test data, comprehensive review of construction drawings, and thorough system configuration validation. We apply proven assessment methodologies developed through decades of industry experience, delivering solutions that meet both regulatory requirements and practical construction needs while maintaining the highest standards of safety and compliance.

Our assessments provide a qualified judgement, based on a large body of testing evidence, constructional drawings, and detailed analysis, on whether a system or configuration will meet the criteria.
