Building Materials
The Building Materials specializes in advising and performing tests on a wide range of materials and products using in constructing the building skeleton and finishing. We meticulously provide fast, reliable, very high quality, and professional service. The tests are performed by the best experts in the field using advanced and innovative equipment.
The laboratory provides different services to help you in the process. Ask our experts any question.
Tests - Israeli Standard compatibility tests, Standards Mark, pre-import and Free Import Directive tests, and tests pursuant to special specifications and the customer's demands.
Imports – personal advice for importers, issue of authorizations for the release of goods from customs.
The service is provided to manufacturers, contractors, importers, and private customers. Below is a list of products and the tests pursuant to the relevant standard.
