Fire Investigation & Standardization
Fire Investigation
FILK conducts scientific fire scene investigations and fire appraisals of manufactured goods based on fire-related technology accumulated over the years.
Causes of fires are scientifically and empirically identified through fire replication studies to prevent insurance crime.
Contributing to National Standardization Progress
One of FILK’s main responsibilities is to contribute to the progress of national standardization.
Designated in 2009 by KATS(Korean Agency for Technology & Standards) as a COSD(Co-operating Organization for Standards Development), FILK aims to advance national standards and strengthen the standardization capability in the realm of fire safety.
FILK is responsible for studying and analyzing the Korean Industrial Standard(KS) for Fire Safety, Acoustics, and Building Acoustics, as well as ensuring that it adheres to the international standards
International Organization for Standardization(ISO) Duties
FILK has been designated by the Korean Agency for Technology and Standards to participate in the international standardization process in the Fire Safety and Building Acoustics fields respectively.

Smoke and Toxicity Test (IMO. FTP Code Part 2)
Where a material is required not to be capable of producing excessive quantities of smoke and toxic products or not to give rise to toxic hazards at elevated temperatures, the material shall comply with this test. The maximum specific optical density of smoke (Ds max) shall be obtained for each test. When making toxicity measurements, the sampling of fumes shall be made during the testing of the second and the third specimen at each test condition, from the geometrical centre of the chamber at the time when the maximum specific optical density of smoke is reached. The concentration of each toxic gas shall be determined as parts per million (ppm) in the chamber volume.
Performance criteria

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dm* | ≤ 200 | ≤ 400 | ≤ 500 | ≤ 400 | |
| Toxicity | CO | ≤ 1,450 ppm | |||
| HBr | ≤ 600 ppm | ||||

| HF | ≤ 600 ppm | ||||
| SO2 | ≤ 120 ppm (200 ppm for floor coverings) | ||||
| NOx | ≤ 350 ppm | ||||
*Dm is An average (Dm) of the maximum specific optical density of smoke (Ds max) of three tests at each test condition

Test for Surface Flammability(IMO. Res. a. 653(16) or 687(17))
Where a product is required to have a surface with low flame-spread characteristics, the product shall comply with this test. Where the primary deck coverings are required to be not readily ignitable, they shall comply with this test. The test method involves mounting the conditioned specimen in a well-defined flux field and measuring the time of ignition, spread of flame and its final extinguishment, together with a stack thermocouple signal as an indication of heat release by the specimen during burning. The following data shall be derived from the test results : CFE, Qsb, Qt and Qp.
Performance criteria
| Bulkhead, wall and ceiling linings | Floor coverings | Primary deck coverings | |
|---|---|---|---|
| CFE (kW/m2) | ≥ 20.0 | ≥ 7.0 | ≥ 7.0 |
| Qsb (MJ/m2) | ≥ 1.5 | ≥ 0.25 | ≥ 0.25 |
| Qt (MJ) | ≤ 0.7 | ≤ 2.0 | ≤ 2.0 |
| Qp (kW) | ≤ 4.0 | ≤ 10.0 | ≤ 10.0 |
| Burning droplets | Not produced | No more than 10 burning drops | Not produced |
*Where:
- CFE = Critical flux at extinguishment
- Qsb = Heat for sustained burning
- Qt = Total heat release
- Qp = Peak heat release rate

* Materials and composites of normal thickness 50 mm or less shall be tested using their full thickness. For materials and composites of normal thickness greater than 50 mm, the required specimens shall be obtained by cutting away the unexposed face to reduce the thickness between 47 mm and 50 mm.
