Fire safety involves requirements at three levels
1- Material to limit the flame spread, smoke and toxic release during a fire
2- Design to provide structure integrity and escape route to passengers
3- Organization by delivening clear options to fire brigades in team of communications tools, logistic (water drills, alarm systems…)

Fire tests are used to quality a product for a market; however, the test methods appear heterogeneous. Up to now, each test was designed according to a specific and national application area (wire. building…)

Under the drive of European Union that aims to make a wide area of free exchange, recent years have seen the upsurge of standardized tests that should be considered as new European standards, applicable all over in Europe. This is the case since 2001 for the building sector with the euroclasses, and new changes will soar in the railways sector 4 year from now.
