Comprehensive quality control and performance assessment for characterisation tests of sandwich panels.
We offer our technological know-how and experience to manufacturers of different compositions of self-supporting and load-bearing metal-faced sandwich panels.
Services
- We are a Technical Assessment Body for the issuing of ETAs for the voluntary CE marking of products not covered by harmonised standards.
- Characterisation and assessment of mechanical, acoustic, physical-chemical and fire performance properties through testing.
- Tests as notified body for the compulsory CE marking according to product standard EN 14509 for self-supporting double-skinned metal insulating panels.
- Design and development of testing methods for the assessment of innovative products
Tests
Mechanical tests:
- Dimensional and safety requirements
- Stability, resistance to static load, impact and falls and fatigue tests.
Physical-chemical tests on raw materials:
- Physical and mechanical properties: tensile strength, elasticity, impact, abrasion, bending, colour, brightness, etc.
- Natural and artificial ageing: QUV, ATLAS Ci3000, climatic chambers, salt spray, thermal shock, moisture, etc.
Fire Performance Tests:
- Reaction and resistance to fire
Acoustic Tests:
- Airborne sound insulation and sound absorption.
Aimed at manufacturers of:
- Façade cladding
- Roof coverings
- Coatings
- Refrigerator sandwich panels
- Structural panels
- Panels for reinforcements
