Standards on materials and their test methods are essential for the safety and quality of products worldwide. With their many years of expertise, our experts play a key role in shaping the content of these standards. In this way, we make a valuable contribution to the safety of aircraft, cars, buildings and medical products.
With ELTRA's involvement, our customers can always be confident that our products meet the requirements of ASTM test methods.
In addition, we participate intensively in so-called round-robin tests to ensure the reproducibility and comparability of our products in international comparisons.
