Cross-Industry Breakthrough | Black Fire Carbon Fiber Ultra-High-Temperature Fire-Retardant Fabric Receives National Class A Certification

Recently, BlackFire’s independently developed Black Fire carbon fiber ultra-high-temperature non-flammable fabric successfully passed the Class A (A2) testing conducted by the National Quality Inspection and Testing Center for Chemical Building Materials in accordance with GB 8624-2012, “Classification of Fire Performance of Building Materials and Products.”

This marks the first time a textile material in China has received authoritative recognition under the highest-level fire performance classification system in the construction sector. It signifies that Jingzhen Technology’s technical prowess and innovative capabilities in the field of “intrinsically non-combustible” materials have reached the forefront of the industry, establishing the company as a pioneer in bringing textile materials up to architectural-grade non-combustibility standards—a first in the country and a milestone achievement.

China’s national standard GB 8624-2012, “Classification of Fire Performance of Building Materials and Products,” categorizes the fire performance of building materials and products into Class A (non-combustible materials) and Class B (combustible materials). Class A comprises two sub-categories: A1 and A2; Class B is divided into B1 (difficult to ignite), B2 (combustible), and B3 (highly flammable).

In the textile industry, the current highest standard for flame-retardant fabrics is Class B1 (flame-retardant materials). Class A non-combustible certification has historically been dominated by inorganic non-metallic building materials. Due to the inherent properties of organic fibers, textile materials have long been unable to meet this standard.

Black Fire carbon fiber fabric has now achieved Class A (A2) certification, marking the first time a textile material has bridged the safety gap between Class B1 and Class A in terms of flammability performance, thereby opening up an entirely new technical pathway for the industry.

This achievement goes beyond mere technical milestones; it represents a breakthrough in the rigorous testing systems and industry barriers that underpin it. It signifies that Black Fire carbon fiber ultra-high-temperature non-flammable fabric is now capable of providing reliable textile solutions for sectors such as construction, transportation, and new energy that require non-flammable ratings.

As textile materials push the boundaries of performance to achieve Class A non-combustibility standards on par with the construction industry, traditional perceptions of the textile sector are being fundamentally reshaped. This Class A certification not only demonstrates BlackFire’s technical prowess and innovative capabilities but also ushers in a new era of development for the safety materials industry.

From fire emergency response to new energy safety, and from building protection to everyday civilian use, every leap in material safety ratings signifies a shift in the safety line forward—lower fire risks, fewer secondary injuries, and higher public safety guarantees, ultimately translating into more tangible protection for every life.

The ultimate value of technology lies in safeguarding lives. BlackFire will continue to deepen its commitment to the research, development, and application of ultra-high-temperature non-combustible materials. By providing “non-combustible” solutions that meet even higher standards, we will address the public’s ever-increasing demand for safety protection, ensuring that “non-combustibility” becomes the solid foundation for safeguarding lives.
