FlexiBurn is James Heal’s multi-purpose flammability tester. Flammability testing is used to understand how quickly and easily a material will ignite and how a flame spreads when it is exposed to fire.
FlexiBurn has a robotic arm for precise and controlled positioning of the burner and when used with the optional radiator assembly, FlexiBurn complies with EN 13772 ‘Burning Behaviour – curtains and drapes – measurement of flame spread with large ignition source’.
FlexiBurn is suitable for a range of applications including:
- Curtains
- Drapes
- Nightwear
- Protective clothing
- Children’s toys

Watch FlexiBurn in Action
Take a look at this brief video which explores how to perform a flammability test, following the EN ISO 15025: 2016 (A-Surface Ignition) standard, comparing Fire Retardant treated and Non Fire Retardant treated specimens. You will see the clear distinction between what is considered a successful pass result, and what consists of a fail. Many other preset standards are included in the TestWise software.
