Reliable and transparent analytical solutions

Founded in 2025 in response to a growing need for accurate and transparent fire-performance data, Pyrolab is an independent laboratory committed to supporting manufacturers, engineers, specifiers and the wider construction industry.

As a privately owned laboratory, Pyrolab is committed to delivering reliable results, communicating findings clearly and sharing technical knowledge with industry.

Through rigorous testing and transparent processes, we help clients navigate changing standards, make evidence-based decisions and contribute to safer buildings in South Africa and beyond.

Fire safety begins with understanding how materials behave when exposed to fire.

Appearance, composition and supplier claims alone cannot establish performance. Standardised testing provides measurable evidence of characteristics such as ignitability, flame spread, heat release, smoke production and flaming droplets, information that supports responsible product development, specification and material selection.
