Customer/application specific tests

The testing of finished and semi-finished plastic products is crucial in all industries where the functionality, durability and aesthetic compliance of the product are vital. While validation and general testing activities follow well-defined measurement procedures, many production and development tasks require specialized tests and a high level of expertise. These unique needs are addressed by a system of test methods developed for these purposes, which allows for a deeper understanding of the behavior, performance and long-term stability of the products.

Various industries - especially the automotive, packaging, construction and coating technology - often have requirements for which there are no directly applicable standards. In such cases, it is essential to develop customer/ appliciation specific tests protocols that are precisely tailored to the specifics of the product and customer specifications. These methods enable fine-tuning of the manufacturing process, early detection of defects and continuous quality maintenance.

During the customer/ appliciation specific tests, we take into account the function of the product, the the operating conditions, the characteristics of the raw material, as well as customer and industry expectations. The process often includes defining new measurement procedures, designing test specimens, developing parameterized loading methods or compiling long-term aging and environmental resistance tests. This flexibility allows the tests to provide real practical information for manufacturers and developers.

Special tests are particularly useful in cases where:

• there is no precise standard for determining product conformity

• unique conditions of use are expected (e.g. extreme heat, mechanical stress or chemical environment),

• a new material or coating system is introduced,

• the function of the product is critical, therefore its operation must be precisely checked,

• customer, OEM or supplier requirements dictate unique measurement methods,

• Fine-tuned tests are required for regular quality control.

The aim of the tests is not only to ensure that the product meets the desired functions, but also to ensure that the manufacturing process is stable, reproducible and economically sustainable. The results obtained support the selection of raw materials, modification of production settings, reduction of scrap rates and increase of service life.

Our laboratory documents every step during method development, so the completed test protocols can be easily integrated into manufacturers' quality management systems and are also suitable for supplier audits or customer approvals. The measurement methods developed for regular quality control reliably indicate deviations, thus enabling timely intervention.

Advantages of special tests

• Processes fully tailored to the needs of the product and industry expectations

• Fast and accurate feedback for development and production

• Supporting quality management and process stability

• Fulfilling unique OEM specifications

• Developing measurement methods that are proven to work in practice

Special testing of finished and semi-finished plastic products is therefore not only part of quality control, but also one of the most important safeguards in the development and production process. Precisely designed methods contribute to stable production in the long term, avoiding errors and increasing the reliability of products.

Advantages of customer/ appliciation specific tests

• Application-specific solutions

Our non-standard measurements also provide accurate, reliable results.

• Production support data collection

The tests help optimize the choice of raw materials, the use of additives, and production parameters.

• Strengthening quality assurance

We perform documented and traceable inspections that are aligned with the companies' own inspection protocols.

• Flexible and fast help

Our methods, tailored to the client's goals, can be implemented in some cases within a few days.

When is it worth requesting an customer/ appliciation specific tests ?

• when developing a new product or raw material

• in case of suspicion of a manufacturing defect or quality deviation

• when investigating a supplier complaint

• when modifying production technology

• when fulfilling special functional requirements

In these cases, a custom investigation quickly reveals the cause of the problem and provides clear guidance for a solution.
