L.S. Fire participates in the work of standardization-experimental pre-normative research and drafting of the standard at UNI, CEN, CENELEC, ISO and CEI, in various committees and working groups, often in collaboration with national and European authorities responsible for fire safety.

The activities are carried out in two laboratories:

    ● Controguerra (TE)
    ● Oltrona di S.Mamette (CO)
