Interscience CommunicationsGosport, Hampshire
A deterministic extraction from Interscience’s current provider homepage identifies Interscience Communications at Building 63, Haslar Marine Technology Park, Haslar Road, Gosport, Hampshire, PO12 2AG, with a business description of reaction to fire testing. Current provider pages list smoke, toxic-fume, flame-spread, cable, heat-release, analytical and aerospace test context. This guide presents those provider-published statements with their stated limits and treats the contact details as information routes.

Key facts
- Provider-published Gosport laboratory profile
- A deterministic extraction from Interscience’s current provider homepage identifies Interscience Communications at Building 63, Haslar Marine Technology Park, Haslar Road, Gosport, Hampshire, PO12 2AG, United Kingdom, and describes the business as reaction to fire testing.
- Published contact, visit and delivery rules
- The current contact page publishes +44 (0) 20 8692 5050 and firetesting@ifirelab.com. It says laboratory visitors are by appointment only and that deliveries are not accepted at the registered office; request the delivery address directly.
Testing capabilities
Provider-published reaction-to-fire and analytical context
The current test-parameters page lists smoke emission, toxic-fume emission, flame spread, cable testing, heat release with mass loss, flame propagation, circuit integrity, bomb calorimetry, heat capacity, acidity and corrosivity. It also lists a Smokebox, cone calorimeter, microscale calorimetry (PCFC), FTIR, analytical chemistry and ion chromatography as apparatus. The provider says not all capabilities are listed.
Provider-published aerospace test context
The current aerospace page lists EN 2824, EN 2825 and EN 2826 smoke and toxicity; EN 3475-601 and EN 3475-602 smoke and toxicity; CAA and FAA vertical and horizontal flame tests; FAA micro calorimetry; ABD 0031; BSS 7238 and BSS 7239 smoke and toxicity; and 60-degree flame tests. The provider describes this as a selection and asks for specific requirements directly.
Provider-published cable test context
The current cable page lists EN 60332-1-2, EN 50399, EN 61034-2 and EN 60754-2 cable fire-test context. This guide treats that list as a provider-published testing statement and does not infer independent accreditation, unrestricted scope or acceptance for a particular cable.
Equipment and published limits
| Specification | Published value | Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| Provider-published apparatus and analytical techniques | The test-parameters page lists a Smokebox, cone calorimeter, microscale calorimetry (PCFC), FTIR, analytical chemistry and ion chromatography. A separate chemistry page lists FTIR, NDIR, chemiluminescence and paramagnetic gas analysis, UV spectrophotometry, ion-selective electrodes, pH and conductivity, ion chromatography, titrations and sodium-fusion qualitative analysis. | These are provider-published apparatus and technique lists, rather than a complete equipment inventory or a guarantee that a particular sample, method, range or programme can be accepted. Confirm the applicable test, standard, sample, configuration, reporting, availability and terms directly with Interscience. |
Access and contact
The current contact page publishes +44 (0) 20 8692 5050 and firetesting@ifirelab.com. Laboratory visitors are by appointment only. The provider says deliveries are not accepted at its registered office, which Companies House lists as The Studio, 1 Canons Lane, Burgh Heath, Surrey, KT20 6DP; request the delivery address directly. Treat these as information routes and confirm scope, sample handling, reporting, availability, price, lead time and terms directly with Interscience.

Standards and accreditation
- Provider-listed cable standards context
- Interscience’s current cable page lists EN 60332-1-2, EN 50399, EN 61034-2 and EN 60754-2 in connection with cable fire testing. This is provider-published test context, not an independently verified accreditation statement.
- Provider-published ISO 1716 and EN 13501 context
- A provider blog entry dated 24 January 2025 says it can run samples in accordance with ISO 1716 bomb calorimeter and refers to EN 13501-1 and EN 13501-6 classification requirements. Treat this as dated provider context and confirm current applicability directly.
What to confirm with the facility
- The current test-parameters page says that not all of the provider’s testing capabilities can be listed there. The guide therefore does not treat its selected lists as a complete capability or equipment inventory.
- No current independent accreditation schedule was verified for this guide. Confirm the exact test, method and edition, standard or accreditation status, sample or assembly configuration, reporting, availability, price and lead time directly with Interscience.

Sources and review
Arc reviewed Interscience’s current first-party homepage, contact, test-parameters, aerospace, cable, chemistry and dated heat-capacity pages, a local deterministic extraction from preserved current provider HTML, and the Companies House record for company number 01896939. The profile extraction identifies the Gosport laboratory, while Companies House and the contact page distinguish the Surrey registered office and prohibit deliveries there. Technical statements are limited to provider-published test, apparatus and standards context. No current independent accreditation schedule was verified, so the guide makes no accreditation claim. Confirm the exact current scope and commercial terms directly with Interscience.
