For
all orders, we can supply a certification that certifies that the weld studs
supplied have been manufactured to those specifications.
On
request, a certification issued by a Belgian laboratory, BELTEST accredited, can
be done.
BELTEST
is signatory of the multilateral agreements established by EA
(European Co-operation for Accreditation) for the fields "testing" and
"inspection" and by ILAC (International Laboratory Accreditation
Co-operation) for the field "testing".
