Testing & Certification

Testing and certification is a service that covers pull-out tensile testing, torque testing and salt spray testing of products. It can include material certification and factory production control. Testing is often done on site or by accredited laboratories.

A sample or installed item is tested on site or in a laboratory. Pull-out tensile testing applies a controlled tension until failure. Torque and salt spray testing follow set methods.

Testing is usually done on metallic materials such as steel and stainless steel. It can be done on anchors and fixings in concrete or other base materials.

Ask about the test methods and the range of loads the equipment can apply. Ask about the accreditation scope of the laboratory. Ask about the lead time for a test report.
