Examination of materials, damage assessment
Damage assessment, materials technology and materials testing in our accredited test laboratory
Our Institute for Material Testing is accredited according to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025, and employees are certified according to DIN EN 473 as required.
We specialise in all questions and problems relating to materials technology.
By conducting suitable tests, we can help you
- to prove the quality of your products and
- to optimise selection of your materials.
Damage assessments help to
- optimise products,
- avoid further damage
- demonstrate product defects.
We process your questions and work on solutions in a team.
We are always trying to widen our range of services. Please contact us even if your own test requirements are not yet included in the following list - we are always here to support you.
Our services include both laboratory and on-site testing and investigation. We conduct tests according to standards, regulations and guidelines, supply specifications, company specifications and other requirements. We will discuss how test standards and regulations can be usefully applied to your product, and we can also create specifications for you.
Tests available in our laboratory:
- Mechanical-technological tests
