Testing
A network of accredited laboratories, offering a diversified range of services aimed at industry, health, commerce and services, public entities and individuals, who need to ensure that their facilities, equipment and products comply with Quality and safety requirements.
Wide range of tests and analysis
ISQ accredited Laboratories do not only support the in-house Engineering, Inspection and Training divisions but also provide external services for instance to the Manufacturing sector, Oil & Gas, Aeronautical & Aerospace, Healthcare, Pharmaceutics, Medical Cannabis, Agrifood, Research Infrastructure, Public Administration, Civil Construction, Energy Generation, Automotive Industry and Transport Infrastructure including Railway.
ISQ Testing offer covers the domains of Materials and Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Noise and Vibration, Environment and Chemistry, Energy, Metrology and Product (including reliability).
The accumulated experience and know-how is combined with the continuous development of new methodologies and processes allowing ISQ to be, today, a leading partner for some global organisations in the design, development, construction and implementation of their own testing or research laboratories.
ISQ track record includes also the design, construction and operation of specialised test benches for very special application in the Aeronautical & Aerospace sectors or the development of particular testing methodologies to be used in experimental nuclear facilities.
Main areas of operation
Materials
Mechanic, metallographic and corrosion testing, chemical and structural characterisation of metallic and non-metallic materials and concrete diagnosis. Technical expertise and failure analysis, for both individuals and companies (insurance companies, assessment companies) and judicial authorities (General Attorney’s Office, Courts).
Non-Destructive Testing
Non-destructive conventional testing using visual inspection, x-ray, ultrasound and electromagnetism to detect and assess the size of discontinuities in materials. Advanced non-destructive testing – Digital x-ray, Phased array, Automatized phased array, Immersion ultrasound (iris), Guided waves, EMAT and ACFM.
Product Performance Evaluation
Tests and analyses of industrial and consumer products, in accordance with internationally recognized methods and techniques.
Tests for defects on polymeric materials using metallographic tests or surface analysis.
Climatic, electrical, modal
Reliability tests with environmental parameters like temperature, humidity, vibration, low pressure, ozone, solar radiation, salt spray or chemical agents. Compliance with safety or electromagnetic compatibility requirements. Thermodynamic evaluation, studies and tests on materials for aerospace and aeronautics industries.
Pharmaceutical Tests
QCPharma is our laboratory entirely dedicated to the quality control of pharmaceutical products, with INFARMED (European Medicines Agency Recognition) authorisation and audited by FDA (American Food & Drug Agency).
With our affiliate Bluestabil, we offer storage services for drug stability and stability studies worldwide.
Environmental and agribusiness
Environmental analysis of soil, polutants, gas and residual water. Laboratory analysis to waste for its recovery, agricultural and industrial symbiosis, recovery of waste from farms and manufacturing industries and food.
