Testing of natural stone

Testing of natural stone, in total 15 accredited methods.

Purpose

Testing of natural stone, where the mechanical, physical and petrographic characteristics of the stone is determined. The area includes 15 accredited methods. We also do non-accredited testing methods. Contact us for more information.

We provide help with type testing and testing of properties that are required by different product standards for natural stone. The results can form a baseline for CE declaration of natural stone products, be used as part of a screening routine, or act as a foundation for procurements and tenders. We can also provide assistance with preparing samples and testing rock samples or drill cores from new prospective quarries.

Method

Testing of natural stone in our laboratory in Borås. See list of accredited methods under Standards.

Deliveries

A testing report according to method is received.

See general and special terms and conditions applying to projects and accredited assignments Terms and conditions | RISE.
