We analyse
and test

The laboratory's quality management is built in accordance with ISO 17025, and our laboratory technician plays a significant role in the day-to-day work of managing quality in our processes and on the individual products. The laboratory's tests are recognised by our customers and their end customers on a par with the requirement to use accredited laboratories in relation to the standards; and we are proud of that.

In the laboratory, all tests are carried out in accordance with international standards. We take part in inter-laboratory calibration across national borders, for example with our salt spray test, in order to ensure consistency and high quality in the tests we perform on products and in process verification. The verification is important; it is the guarantee that our surface treatment processes meet the requirements set out in the MILTEK standards and others. All analyses are carried out in accordance with international standards.

Each time we consider introducing a new production standard, the standard is reviewed by our quality manager and the production manager to ensure that we can carry out the necessary process verification and product inspection. We can then be confident that we are able to deliver a satisfactory surface treatment in accordance with the customer's specific requirements, including documentation of the completion of the process and our quality control of the parts.

The laboratory carries out analyses/tests in a range of areas:

• Chemical analyses in general
• Salt spray test
• Visual tests, gloss measurement and colour comparison
• Combined chemical and visual tests such as the blue spot test
• Coating thickness measurement with X-ray
• Weight-loss testing
• Physical control measurement
• Taber Abrasion test "wear test"
• Measurement of voltage drop (MIL DTL 5541 Class 3)

We are happy to include reports on the quality control carried out and to provide a COC.
