AGC Glass Europe has successfully completed a new fire-resistance test for its Pyrobel-T EI60-28 TGU glazing when combined with the Reynaers Aluminium CW 50-FP façade system, marking an important milestone in certified fire-resistant façade solutions.

The test was carried out at DMT Lathen (Germany) under outside-to-inside fire exposure conditions, complementing previous tests conducted for the opposite fire direction. With this latest validation, the Pyrobel-T EI60 solution with CW 50-FP is now certified for both fire exposure directions, addressing a critical requirement for façade applications in complex building environments.

The tested configuration achieved EI60 and EW90 classifications, confirming its ability to perform reliably under severe fire conditions. EI60 indicates that the glazing and framing system can act as an effective barrier to flames, hot gases, and heat transfer for at least 60 minutes, supporting safe evacuation routes and occupant protection. EW90 further demonstrates that the system limits radiant heat while maintaining integrity for up to 90 minutes.

This dual-direction validation is particularly significant for architects, façade engineers, and developers working on projects where fire scenarios cannot be limited to a single exposure side. In modern façades, especially in high-rise, mixed-use, and densely built urban contexts, fire resistance must be guaranteed regardless of where a fire originates.

By completing the test portfolio for Pyrobel-T EI60 with Reynaers CW 50-FP, AGC Glass Europe and Reynaers Aluminium strengthen their joint offering of fully compliant, tested, and certified fire-resistant façade systems. The result is greater design flexibility, improved regulatory confidence, and enhanced safety performance for façade projects across Europe and beyond.

This latest achievement reinforces the role of advanced fire-resistant glazing as a core component in contemporary façade engineering, where safety, certification, and performance must align seamlessly with architectural ambition.
