CREPIM - Fireproof Material Resarch Insititute
About CREPIM
CREPIM (Centre de Recherche et d'Etudes pour les Procédés d'Ignifugation des Matériaux)
CREPIM plays a major role in Europe in guaranteeing and approving fire-retardant properties of materials.
Business of CREPIM
CREPIM Have been provide fire test cover:
√ Mass Transport(Railway Vehicle,Marine,Aircraft,Car)
√ Building Materials
√ Electric & Electronic Equipments
√ Furniture & Textile
The increasing research on materials used in the various areas leads to a particularly appreciable increase in the use of organic polymers. However, the regulation evolution towards a greater fire-safety tends to control the use of many materials and imposes consequently a technological survey and permanent improvements.
CREPIM's activity focuses on the fire properties of polymeric materials. CREPIM brings a real support to industries in the domain of fire behaviour of materials by testing, developing, and following-up of the evolution of the standardization.
Service: 
CREPIM activities feature areas:
√  Approving fire-retardant properties of materials
√  Assessment of the fire properties of materials◦Flame propagation
-  Smoke opacity
-  Smoke toxicity
-  heat insulation
-  integrity
√  Participation in French and European Standardization Committees on plastics (TC 61), building (TC 92), and railways (TC 256);
√  Development of fire-retardant materials for various end use applications (thermoplastics and thermosetting materials);
√  Recycling of fire-retarded plastics;
√  Training for companies featuring
-  Developments and trends in European Fire Regulation regarding key sectors (mass transport, Electric & Electronic Equipments…), 
-  European environmental regulation restricting the use of certain fire-retardant additives;
-  Latest strategies to fire-retard polymeric materials, 
The laboratory works on thermoset and thermoplastic resins, on composite materials, as well as fire-retardant paints. CREPIM's aim is the development of fire-retardant materials that do not release opaque and toxic smokes.
