INTRODUCTION

Don Falconer founded Falconer Engineering and Testing to provide Fire Protection Engineering Services and to apply his more than 30 years of experience in the fire protection and building construction industry.  The first 11-1/2 of those years were with Underwriters' Laboratories of Canada where as Senior Project Engineer Don was involved with conformity assessment and certification testing of construction materials and most notably full-scale fire testing of building constructions. At ULC Don also had opportunity to be directly involved with development of building and fire safety standards and building codes.

Don then spent 18-1/2 years as Technical Manager with A/D Fire Protection Systems, a manufacturer of passive fire protection products including firestopping materials, intumescent fire resistive coatings for structural steel and sprayed fire resistive materials. At A/D Fire, Don managed product development, testing and certification activities, technical literature and marketing needs and technical support activities. Don also managed development and implementation of the company's ISO9001 quality management system.  

Don continues to participate actively with standards writing activities and industry organizations including the ULC Committee on Fire Tests, the National Research Council of Canada's Special Interest Group on Suitable Acoustic and Fire Stop Technologies, ASTM E05 and E06, the National Fireproofing Contractors Association and the Society of Fire Protection Engineers - Southern Ontario Chapter. He is also a member of ASTM, ICC, NFPA, Professional Engineers Ontario, SFPE and the Canadian Fire Safety Association (CFSA).
