Laboratory tests to determine the breaking load
To ensure that our products live up to their promises, we have certain products and product categories tested in an independent and accredited materials testing laboratory by DEKRA.
Scope of investigation: Laboratory tests to determine the necessary force to failure through a tensile test. For this, the products are clamped in a device and pulled until the material fails.
