Reliable & Accurate Test Results
We serve many prestigious manufacturers of both geosynthetics and flexible sheeting materials, and have many long-standing relationships.
Our test results are used for:
- Supporting UKCA or CE Marking, through the provision of initial type tests including provision of durability testing;
- Verifying manufacturer's in-house data;
- Assisting with development projects;
- Acting as an independent third party in cases of dispute
Our range of UKAS accredited tests can be found here, together with tests which have recently been approved via our flexible scope.
Between our laboratory team and our technical customer services team, we can provide you with guidance throughout the entire testing process from application through to issuing of test report and we will offer continued support once testing is completed.
Please contact our customer service team today if you would like to find out more about any of the services we offer.
