Fire Testing Standards for Oil & Gas and Hazardous Environments
The oil and gas industry operates in some of the most hazardous environments in the world, where the presence of flammable materials, high pressures, and extreme temperatures significantly increases fire risks. In such settings, even minor failures can lead to catastrophic consequences. This is why Fire Testing is a critical requirement for equipment, materials, and systems used in oil & gas and other hazardous environments. Fire testing standards provide a structured framework for evaluating how products and materials perform under fire conditions. This blog explores the importance of fire testing, key fire testing standards applicable to oil & gas operations, and the role of fire testing labs in ensuring safety and compliance. Why Fire Testing Is Critical in Oil & Gas and Hazardous Environments Oil & gas facilities such as refineries, offshore platforms, pipelines, and storage terminals handle highly flammable substances daily. Fire incidents in these environme...
