Many suppliers test only one sample, usually the one with the best fire performance. This leaves specifiers vulnerable, as other colours or thicknesses may not meet the same standards. Our comprehensive testing across the full collection eliminates this risk.
With competitive price and timely delivery, Jiatong sincerely hope to be your supplier and partner.
ARCHISONIC® Felt uses superior fire protection fibres, ensuring optimal performance within its fire safety classification. Our experience shows that other colours or thicknesses may not meet the same standards. Our extensive testing provides documented proof of this superior performance.
ARCHISONIC® Felt utilises a consistent flame retardant technology across all 72 material variations. However, while 82% of our colours achieve the highest fire safety classification (B—s1, d0), the remaining 18% meet the second highest standard (B—s2, d0). This difference arises not from variations in the flame retardant itself, but from the inherent properties of the dyes and pigments used to create the different colours.
No, fire safety regulations and certification requirements vary significantly between markets. Different countries and regions have their own standards and testing procedures. It's crucial to ensure that the chosen acoustic solution has the appropriate certifications for the specific market where the project is located. ARCHISONIC® Felt holds certifications relevant to various international standards.
Fire test certifications can seem complex, but understanding the key elements is essential. Here is a general overview:
Standard: The specific standard the product was tested against (e.g., EN -1 in Europe, ASTM E84 in the US). This indicates the testing methodology used. The 72 fire certificates were tested in accordance with EN -1.
Classification: The classification achieved by the product (e.g., A1, B, s1, d0). This summarises the product's fire performance.
Test Report: The document provides detailed information about the testing process, including specific results for parameters like flame spread, smoke production, and heat release.
Euroclass (EN -1): This is the most common system in Europe.
A1: Non-combustible. Offers the highest level of fire safety.
A2: Limited contribution to fire.
B to F: Increasing levels of combustibility.
An Euroclass B rating indicates that a material has a significant contribution to fire. It's important to understand that while not the highest classification (A1 or A2), it doesn't automatically mean the material is unsuitable for all applications.
Smoke Emission (within Euroclass):
s1: Low smoke production.
s2: Medium smoke production.
s3: High smoke production.
Flaming Droplets/Particles (within Euroclass):
d0: No flaming droplets/particles.
d1: Limited flaming droplets/particles.
d2: Flaming droplets/particles.
Materials that produce large amounts of smoke can quickly obscure visibility and make it difficult for people to escape. Therefore, low smoke emission (s1 classification) is highly desirable.

Consult with a fire safety engineer or building control officer. They can advise on the specific fire safety requirements for your project based on local regulations, building type, and occupancy. Always request and review the full Test Reports for any product you are considering.
No. ARCHISONIC® Textile uses Trevira CS eco certified yarn, piece-dyed after spinning. The micro-layer of pigment on the non-absorbent polyester fibre does not affect fire performance. Therefore, individual colour reports are unnecessary. Colour-specific reports are only available for ARCHISONIC® Felt.
No. ARCHISONIC® Cotton uses non-combustible mineral dyes (clay and stone). These dyes do not affect the material's fire performance, so individual colour reports are not necessary. Fire test reports are available for ARCHISONIC® Felt, which uses different dyeing processes.
