- composition design for grouts (type test).
The said regional laboratories demonstrate the competence to carry out tests impartially and credibly by meeting the requirements of the ISO/IEC 17025:2005 standard.
In its regional laboratories the TESS corporate unit carries out also the non-accredited services in the field of testing the construction materials, products and carriageways structural courses.
The non-accredited tests include the:
- water separability (demulsibility) of fresh mortar,
- mortar volume constancy (soundness),
- measuring of concrete surface moisture,
- bituminous mix stability and deformation according to Marshall,
- bituminous mix pourability - Schellenberg test,
- adhesion of asphalt to aggregate,
- compaction measurement geodetically,
- frost heave resistance of CBGM.
