Testing & Analysis

Ensuring product performance in use is critical to ensure consumer trust. Our analysis and testing services will help you to ensure that your product works first time, every time and that it leads the way in your market sector.

Whatever the specification, you can be confident that testing is to the highest standards using transparent, traceable, calibrated approaches and state-of-the-art equipment by highly qualified and experienced technical staff.

Why Test?

• Physical testing
• Microstructural testing to study product failure or defects, failure mechanisms, inclusions, grain size and bonding structures
• Surface analysis to detect failures, contamination and defects
