Accredited test procedures
The Accredited Testing Laboratory of the Klokner Institute of the Czech Technical University follows test procedures according to ČSN EN ISO/IEC 17025:2018. The subject of accreditation is the testing of mechanical-physical and rheological properties of building materials, static and dynamic testing of building structures, including the investigation of dynamic effects on structures to the extent specified in the annex to the accreditation certificate.
Test procedures
The current list of test procedures carried out within the fixed scope of accreditation is governed by applicable standards and relates in particular to the following parameters:
- Density of a building material (e.g., concrete, mortar, and bricks),
- Determination of the dimensions of concrete elements,
- Determination of compressive strength,
- Determination of tensile strength by bending of test specimens,
- Tensile testing (e.g., of concrete welds or metallic materials),
- Determination of the strength of cement and mortar,
- Testing of electrical insulators, conductors and elements of outdoor lines,
- Masonry tests,
- Frost resistance tests,
- Testing of soils and aggregates
- Static tests of building structures
- Determination of masonry moisture
If the customer is not satisfied with the activities of the TL KI, i.e. he has objections to the preparation of samples, to the performance of the test or to the Test Report, he may express his opinion within 14 days after receiving the Test Report to the head of the TL KI. Other objections to the activities of the ZL may be submitted to the head of the TL at any time. Complainants can inquire about the method of filing complaints with the head of the TL.
