The design-development and manufacture
of pre-production prototypes, combined with load-testing, fire and smoke
performance testing, and visual evaluations, are an integral and invaluable
part of the evolution of new and original products. Having established values
for safe or maximum working loads, components are normally stressed to a value
several times greater to check deflection characteristics or distortion and
to validate the calculated values. Wherever appropriate, and in particular in
LUL Section 12 applications, independent testing of combustibility, spread
of flame, and toxic fume emissions, are carried out at an UKAS Accredited
Test Laboratory and sound resistant and sound absorbent products are similarly
subjected to independent testing at an UKAS Accredited Acoustic Laboratory.
Whilst prototype and testing programmes are generally carried out as part of
an Entech Contract, the service is available for the development and evaluation
of products for other organisations and, for example, on the Jubilee Line Extension
Project, many products were developed to the 'Approved for Production' stage ready
for manufacture by other companies involved in the Contract.
