Accredited Research Laboratories

The laboratories provide accredited testing services in accordance with the scopes of accreditation of the Minister of National Defence and the Polish Centre for Accreditation, and also hold recognition from the Polish Register of Shipping.

The main objective of conducting laboratory testing is to eliminate or reduce risks posed by products to the health and safety of users and the environment, by imposing on manufacturers or suppliers placing a given product on the market the requirement to verify compliance with relevant requirements.
