A fire test is a means of determining whether fire protection products meet minimum performance criteria as set out in a building code or other applicable legislation. Successful tests in laboratories holding national accreditation for testing and certification result in the issuance of a certification listing .

Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory is the term used by the United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration to identify third-party organizations that have the necessary qualifications to perform safety testing and certification of products covered within OSHA and each organization's scopes.
The samples collected by a fire investigator will be analyzed in a laboratory for the presence of any ILRs which could have been used as accelerants. Samples that are selected from the fire must be those that will have the highest likelihood of containing ILRs so they can ensure the laboratory results are an accurate representation of the scene.
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in La Cañada Flintridge. ... devastated neighborhoods in Altadena and — just west of the Eaton fire’s burn scar — the 170-acre JPL campus.
The completed test sample is inserted into a furnace such that one side is exposed to a fire. The test is terminated when the fire stops successfully meet the test criteria in minimizing the amount of heat and smoke allowed to pass through the assembly, when the fire penetrates the fire stops. This determines the fire stop F-Rating.
The FRL works in research in fire investigation science. Through its rigorous scientific studies, the laboratory has been instrumental in debunking myths and challenging misconceptions within the field, leading to more accurate fire scene reconstructions and evidence analysis.
