In addition to testing our own range, we also offer testing services on behalf of clients, using their supplied products or materials.
Whether you’re looking to validate a design, compare performance, or meet regulatory standards, our lab is equipped to handle a wide variety of testing needs. The tests are carried out by our experts and technicians who
collect and analyze data through state-of-the-art multi-channel instrumentation with up to 12 measurement channels.
Tests can be conducted on
Materials
fabrics, padding, rock wool,
surface coatings
Prodotti da costruzione
walls, barriers, doors and windows
Industrial products
compressors, fans,
noise-cancelling headphones
Components
of machinery and
various instruments
Testing Environments
The lab consists of two reverberation chambers to carry out tests according to UNI EN ISO 10140-2:2021; UNI EN ISO 3741:2010 and ISO 354:2003, a semi-anechoic chamber with electromagnetic shielding to carry out tests according to UNI EN ISO 3745:2017; UNI EN ISO 9614-1:2009 and UNI EN ISO 9614- 2:1998, and an impedance tube to carry out tests according to UNI EN ISO 10534-2:2001 and UNI EN ISO 10534-1:2001.
