World's most innovative fire testing laboratory

QCM Flamelab specializes in fire testing interior aviation materials to ensure they meet all applicable regulations, using fire tests which are compliant with EASA and FAA standards.

Unlike other labs, we use automated tests to eliminate human factors and other variables which occur during manually performed testing. This results in simple, precise, and efficient testing and reporting of your materials, allowing for quicker results and a more accurate analysis of your samples.

Our testing capabilities cover Bunsen Burner Testing and Oil Burner Testing for Seat Cushions.

When it comes to our Bunsen Burner Testing, QCM Flamelab is the only laboratory in the world offering automated testing services for aviation interiors using our state-of-the-art technology, Flamelab 4.0, which was developed exclusively for our laboratory.
