Testing
Test laboratories are able to perform all tests, necessary for purpose of certification according to the Standards, harmonized to the 94/9/EC Directive. The subcontracting is used in the exceptional circumstances and case by case only, and with the keeping of IEC EN 17025 principles.
There are above all:
- Tests of electrical and non-electrical equipment for explosive atmospheres
- Tests of protective systems for a suppression, decoupling and relieve of explosion
- Thermal tests of equipment by the contact method and non-contact IR method under the required operation conditions
- The measurement explosion pressures of gas and dust mixture inside of equipment and during the test of protective systems or under increased initial pressure respectively
- Electric tests and measurement of voltage, currents, electric power, leakage currents, electric resistance, dielectric strength
- Performance tests of gas detectors and analyzers
- Tests of surface and internal resistance and charging tests of plastic materials
- Measurement of very high and very low electric resistance
- Burning tests
- Test under the abnormal climatic conditions (temperature and humidity), environmental tests
- Measurement of mechanical dimensions of flameproof gaps
- Electromagnetic emissivity tests
- Electromagnetic immunity tests
Special tests:
- Bonfire test of gas cylinders
- Bonfire test of automotive LPG and CNG containers
- Test of valves for explosion relief in the engine crank case
- Records of fast moving events by high speed camera
- Estimation of dust concentration in the ventilation and exhaust systems
- Other Tests on customer’s request, based on the laboratories abilities.
