What is fire residue testing in a laboratory?

Fire residue testing is a specialised laboratory service used to analyse materials that have been exposed to fire or smoke damage. Samples collected from surfaces are examined to identify residues left behind after combustion.

This type of testing is often used during post-fire investigations or restoration assessments to determine the extent of contamination and guide cleaning or remediation strategies. 

The results help property managers, insurers, and environmental professionals understand the impact of fire damage on indoor environments.
