Building Product Testing
Applus+ Laboratories’ dedicated construction laboratories offer expert characterization and quality assurance of basic construction materials, systems and end products. Our expertise covers all kinds of building product testing, including fire testing, physiochemical testing, mechanical testing, climatics and acoustics. We are a Notified Body (nº 0370) for type testing with a view to CE marking, and our labs are ISO/IEC 17025-accredited.
END-TO-END BUILDING PRODUCT TESTING
Whether you are looking to understand the limits of a specific building product, prove compliance with regulations or understand the reasons for a failure, we provide a complete service offering tailored to your needs. This can include:
- Creation, definition and implementation of bespoke test plans
- Material and product characterization & QA
- Forensic engineering & fault analysis
- Support in developing new construction products
