TESTING
A Number
Without A Method
Is Not Evidence
A salt-spray hour count means nothing on its own – not which part was tested, after what pre-treatment, or what counted as a pass. Every property we quote carries all four, and the report is available per product.
Company certifications – ISO, FSC, BSCI, TÜV – are listed separately on the Certifications page with issuer, number and expiry.
