The foundation of the “Sächsischen Versuchsstrecke an
der Bergakademie Freiberg” in 1928 (to 1991: “Institut für
Bergbausicherheit (IfB)”, department: fires and explosions) was the
beginning of the development of a scientific and safety technical
centre for the special subjects of fire and explosion prevention in
Central Germany.
From 1949 until 1991 the “Institut für Bergbausicherheit (IfB,
Versuchsstrecke Freiberg)” was the “Staatshoheitsrechtliche Institut
der DDR” for the blasting essence, fire and explosion protection for
mining and industry.
With the reunification, the “IfB” was annulled formally in 1991. In
December 1990 the foundation of IBExU Institut für
Sicherheitstechnik GmbH was performed with support of the “Bundesministerium für
Wirtschaft” with the objectives to proceed the scientific know how of
the “IfB” and the work of the “Versuchsstrecke Freiberg” for the
protection of human beings, real values as well as the environment
against the hazards generated by accidents.
IBExU developed into a European recognized institution for
research, technical engineering services and safety tests in the
special fields of plant- and processing engineering safety and
accident prevention as well as protection against fire and explosions. |

The service of IBExU guarantees complete solutions in the
mentioned subjects, even for very complex problems. The scientific and
technical engineering staff of various special subjects has special
professional experiences since many years.
IBExU has resources at an unique fund of scientific-technical
knowledge and experiences on account of the management of the
materials stored since the foundation of the “Versuchsstrecke
Freiberg”, such as research reports, expert´s opinions and results of
determinations of safety characteristics, certificates including all
examination certificates issued in the former G.D.R.
Appropriate equipment in the laboratories and large-scale trial
plants, such as explosion tanks or detonation pipes, in the open-air
area are available for examinations and tests conforming to
standards. |
