Material testing for plastics & metals
Accredited material testing for plastics, metals and composite materials. We analyse material properties, identify materials, qualify damage causes and material quality – for development, production and quality assurance.
corrosion, climate & UV exposure
Accredited environmental simulation for corrosion, climate and UV exposure. We test how resistant products and components are under real operating conditions – standards-compliant according to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025.
Testing of consumer goods – „Fit for Use“
How well does your product actually work in everyday use? The DEKRA K-Labor tests consumer goods for durability, material quality and fitness for use – objectively, comparatively and with a qualified test report.
Packaging and single-use items analysis
Have packaging tested reliably for quality and compliance – for manufacturers, importers and retailers. We analyse materials, tightness and legal requirements up to the Single-Use Plastics Regulation.
Medichal technology
Safety begins with the material: The DEKRA K-Labor tests medical devices for chemical resistance, mechanical load capacity and damage causes – for maximum patient safety and product reliability.
Failure analysis
Material failure, component defects or surface damage? We analyse damage causes and perform fracture analyses on plastics, metals and composites in accordance with VDI Guideline 3822 – for automotive engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering and medical technology.
Automotive
As an accredited testing laboratory, we carry out release testing and component trials for automotive suppliers according to all common OEM standards – from material testing, surface testing and emission behaviour to climate and corrosion testing according to VW, BMW, Daimler & Co. – certified in accordance with ISO TS 16949 and DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025.
Surface inspection
As an accredited testing laboratory, we carry out surface testing and adhesion strength testing – from rub fastness and coating analysis to coating thickness measurement up to microscopic surface analysis by SEM & EDX according to internationally recognised DIN EN ISO standards.
Mechanical testing
As an accredited testing laboratory, we carry out mechanical and destructive testing on metals, plastics and elastomers – from tensile, compression and bending tests to hardness testing and impact strength up to the testing of welded joints according to DIN EN ISO standards.
