Materials and components used in defence applications are assessed against dedicated defence standards, including UK Defence Standards (DEF STAN) and the Naval Engineering Standards (NES) that preceded them.
intersciencefire senior staff participate in defence standardisation work, and the laboratory offers toxicity and reaction-to-fire testing referenced by these standards. Please contact us to discuss defence testing requirements, including defence cabling.
