- Weight savings and life span
- Operational safety: Robustness and reliability
- Respect for the environment
Our range of skills, testing facilities and experience can help you address the challenges and issues you face.
Aeronautics is a buoyant sector of activity for research, qualification, monitoring and quality of materials.
With 40 years of experience, we have dealt with a wide range of issues aimed at advancing new technologies and improving the performance of our customers’ products.
We have received several accreditations including NF EN ISO 9001 and NF EN ISO/IEC 17025[1] for a number of services.
We have carried out testing and characterisation campaigns in close collaboration with the key players in this sector. Through our presence in the standardisation committee, we have become an international reference centre for:
- Control of measurement and particulate contamination
- efficiency/performance testing of filters.
- endurance tests in polluted fluids
Particle Counting and Cleanliness :
- Parts and components
