Non EES tests

As an accredited test laboratory we carry out crash tests in accordance with standards. These include:

• Safety barrier tests (e.g. concrete and steel) in accordance with EN 1317 and MASH
• Examination of supporting structures in road traffic (e.g. road traffic signs, light poles, traffic light systems, speed measuring devices) in accordance with EN 12767
• Tests with vehicle security barriers (e.g. bollard, barriers, wedges) in accordance with BSI PAS 68, ASTM F2556/F2656M – 18, IWA 14-1

The requirements of a test laboratory correspond in accordance with Article 43 of the Construction Products Regulation.

Our large, easily accessible and quickly transformable crash test facility provides for optimal spatial and technical flexibility.

We provide comprehensive written and digital documentation of the results, in which all details in a multimedia manner are presented and so easily understandable for all parties and committees involved. The standards-compliant processing of the test data permits the direct further use for the appropriate certification and licensing processes and their successful completion.

We also conduct complex tests and test series in other areas of road, work, or vehicle safety, under strict orientation and compliance of the appropriate norms and standards.

From the examination of vehicle parts, airbags, barriers and crash barriers to load securing and product liability to tests of dynamic driving: we design an individual test procedure for every requirement and provide you with detailed and usable results.
