Changes in Testing Concept

New test techniques, new measuring and testing equipment, introducing calibration laboratories, European & worldwide interlaboratories comparisons, all of them when the testing activity becomes a business aimed at meeting client requirements

Result

Assurance of long term confidence in the tested products quality: - through its equidistant position to the manufacturer and to the client - through the use of the most advanced testig/ measuring techniques

Most Important Competences
