Purpose
The area includes accredited and non-accredited methods. Contact us for more information.
We provide help with type testing and testing of properties that are required by different product standards for natural stone. The results can form a baseline for CE declaration of natural stone products, be used as part of a screening routine, or act as a foundation for procurements and tenders. We can also provide assistance with preparing samples and testing rock samples or drill cores from new prospective quarries.
Method
Testing of natural stone in our laboratory in Borås. See list of regular methods under Standard and please use our order form.
Deliveries
A testing report according to method is received.
