Testing means Assessing – Assessing means Understanding

Our accredited test lab (DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025) offers an extensive range of physical-mechanical test methods for material characterization, chemical and thermo-chemical analytical processes for hazardous substances analyses as well as investigation methods to determine the emission properties. In addition to the standard tests we also perform numerous special testing methods for failure and defect analysis. Be it leather, collagen materials, leather fibre boards, coated textiles (e. g. imitation leather), textiles, films or plastics; as individual material, polymer laminar structure or component part – for the investigation of your materials you can rely on a competent and timely processing. As certified material testing service provider we are available as reliable and flexible partner both for national and international customers in the automotive, living, safety clothing, food and medical products industries. Benefit from our individual consultancy. Our high degree of interdisciplinary experience and expertise for you means that you will always get a profound answer to your specific question.

Current list of test methods in the accreditation area

The test lab of FILK Freiberg Institute gGmbH is flexibly accredited in various testing areas. This means that different editions of standardised test methods or test methods equivalent to them may be used without the separate approval of the DAkkS GmbH, even if these are not specified in the annex to the certificate of accreditation. The relevant test methods as well as the applicable editions can be viewed in the current list of accredited test methods.

For further information on the released standards and test methods within the scope of accreditation, please use the following e-mail address:
