Department of Fire Safety Research (Hwaseong)
Department of Fire Safety Research (Hwaseong) at KICT is the largest fire safety research facilities in Korea built by Korean government to improve fire-safety standard and life quality. FIRE has great experience in conducting a wide range of research using 10MW scale of Large Cone Calorimeter, Room Corner Tester and Single Burning Item. It is also equipped with Material Property Evaluation Laboratory enabling to test various aspects of material properties under elevated temperatures, used at building systems. It aims to develop advanced fire safety technologies through the performance accreditation research according to global regulations, to cope with mega-scale damages induced by recent conflagrations and to enhance the overall standard of domestic industry related to fire safety up to the international levels.
