CREPIM CHINA

CREPIM signed a cooperative agreement with EcoSafene to make EcoSafene its sole authorized representative in China. CREPIM is set to establish an Asian office and offer more professional and authoritative flammability testing services for companies in the Far East, especially in China.

EcoSafene believes in CREPIM’s undoubted professionalism and authoritativeness. CREPIM is acknowledged by the COFRAC, the European Railway Certification Agency, the French Interior Ministry, the Bureau Veritas, the CRT, the SNCP and the RATP, and is also a notified body in the EU. All these interest and please Chinese enterprises, as in reality, there’s a big gap between the fire resistance research achievements made by China and developed European countries. CREPIM’s entry into the Chinese market will not only give EcoSafene strong support, but also push forward the development of the fire resistance industry.

Heat release measurement-MAHRE-according to ISO 5660-1

Smoke optical density and toxicity measurement according to ISO 5659-2

Lateral flame spread measurement according to radiant panel ISO 5658-2


This is offered to your in complementarily to our basic set of test we currently perform for railway: M land F for which we are recognised by SNCF and RATP via CERTIFER.

Implementation of the railway regulation EN 45545: be ready to take off

You probably know that a new European railway regulation has been preparing for 10 years and will come in force within the next 3 years at the European level. Medium term consequence are that National Regulations will be given up to switch towards the new reference EN 45 545.

An other point is that the adaptation of material performances will be necessary. It’s now time to phase up the material performances to be ready for the regulation and market move.This go-ahead step could appeared complex and risky to achieve. That’s why CREIM has developed a pragmatic and direct approach to give you a real picture of the current position of your materials against the new regulation.

CREPIM is actually fully equipped to carry out testings according to EN 45545 in order to provide to your company a real diagnostic of your products and their performances.

Our approach aim to focus on the material side according to 3 key steps:

1.Material testing and setting up of a data base gathering the reference values according to EN 45545 tests&criteria

2.Definition of an action plan to assess and correct the deviation., if necessary

3.Technical assistance for your product optimization and performances qualification

Feel free to contact us for a First contact in order to develop together your competitiveness against the new regulation

DEEE constrains and CREPIM solutions

Since August 2006,the directive DEEE(electric and electronic equipment waste)imposes a selective sorting of certain components and dangerous substances, including the brominated fire retardants. The rates of valorisation can go up to 80% according to categories’ of DEEE.

This regulation reveals a need for characterization of the raw materials sources in order to guarantee their quality. This to guarantee a realistic and safe reuse through the downstream channel.

In order to answer these new requirements. the CREPIM has set up a innovative method that gives a real breakthrough. This innovation stands in the ability to assess the quality criteria at two levels:

1.The Nature of the plastics

2.The type of additives, especially halogenated (Br.Cl…) and heavy metals


This tool meets the needs for industry which shall have to characterize its raw materials quickly. We guarantee a statistically representative sampling and reinforce the following up of the material through all the channel

Feel free to contact us for any information and download the data sheet of this methodology
