Foam Test Kits, Equipment & Training
A range of kits and equipment designed to enable fire safety professionals to carry out indicative in-house testing procedures.
Please note all Foam Test Kits and equipment are intended to provide indicative results only. It is highly recommended that foam samples are always sent to a reputable Foam Test Laboratory for independent, third party evaluation on at least an annual basis.
