Our metal tests

Materials Testing Veendam is a accredited destructive lab (RvA accreditation L647, EN ISO/IEC 17025:2017) and an independent test laboratory specialized in destructive tests of metal and welding. As experts in the field of mechanical testing, we perform under accreditation tensile tests, bending tests, notch impact tests, hardness tests. With more than 25 years of experience, we ensure fast, reliable results in qualifying welders and welding methods and in determining material properties.
