General Testing

KEY SKILLS

Measure, quantify, qualify, monitor, validate quality, performance and shelf life
Ability to create bespoke protocols tailored to the desired approach, integrating the measurement and evaluation of every type of parameter and adapted to every budget
Ability to transform assessments into recommendations for improvement
Our quality system follows the rules of the ISO 17025 standard thereby guaranteeing the accuracy of our measurements.
