Non-combustibility is one of the requirements for the use of interior construction panels in shipbuilding. This is tested in accordance with IMO Resolution A799 (19). FIPRO® has passed all tests and is approved by marine safety authorities and classification companies as a “non-combustible construction material”.
Extensive tests of bulkheads and claddings have been performed with FIPRO®. You can find a selection of approved designs in the following presentations. Certificates are available on request.
