Other test methods are possible on request, also according to foreign standards(ASTM, ASME, British Standard, GOST [Государственный Стандарт]).

Tests according to older, now invalid, standards are also possible, (SEP – Leaflets, DVM – rules), – if this is explicitly ordered.

 

*the test is performed at an accredited external service partner.

** Dye penetrant inspection and magnetic particle testing on request.

***the standard has been withdrawn, but is still frequently used.

****other sample shapes are possible on request.

 

All tests are carried out in accordance with the latest version of the currently valid standards.

For all tests, the measuring tools and machines are regularly checked and calibrated by accredited institutions (Saxon State Office for Metrology and Verification) or by accredited test laboratories of the manufacturers.
