Put science on your side to become resilient in a world that isn’t short on surprises.
With FM, you recruit a team of scientists, engineers and technicians from 14 countries, holding 50 advanced degrees. You give your company access to research that can’t be replicated anywhere but the FM Research Campus. Within its state-of-the-art labs, scientists simulate hazards like five-alarm fires or category five hurricanes, so you’ll better understand their potential effects on your company’s facilities.
Since you need to look at property loss from every angle, we go outside the lab, too. A blend of theoretical, computational and experimental methods address tomorrow’s risk challenges. Our more than one hundred years of experience with businesses in nearly every sector allows us to ground theory in reality. And our collaborations with universities, organisations and industry groups allow us to give you unlimited expertise from which to draw.
Research and testing informs our risk management solutions and FM Property Loss Prevention Data Sheets, and helps set the high standards used to certify products as FM APPROVED.

Fire hazards and protection. Structures and natural hazards. Risk, reliability and failure prevention. Get ammunition for whatever comes your way with our rigorous scientific approach. Our researchers use theoretical, computational and experimental research methods to study not just what has happened, but what could happen. These methods have led to some of the most critical breakthroughs in loss prevention engineering.
Wish you could witness our state-of-the-art scientific and engineering research firsthand? Research Technical Reports are the next best thing. Download these property loss prevention findings, including a select number of reports that we make publicly available.
When your standards for property loss prevention services are high, it’s a lot easier to be resilient. Through FM Data Sheets and FM Approvals’ product testing and certification service, we’re committed to improving those standards—not just for our clients’ businesses, but for the public good.
Our International Codes and Standards (IC&S) team is made up of experienced professionals based in both developed and emerging markets throughout the world. It is dedicated to a singular purpose to strengthen building codes and standards for the benefit of our clients. IC&S engages with government authorities, research institutions and advocacy groups to promote, codify and implement safer standards—particularly for fire protection.
