Testing Services for Roof Waterproofing Materials, Products and Underlays
Our services cover testing of bitumen and rubber based roof waterproofings for product development, market approval (CE marking, Product Certificate for Finnish local market) and quality assurance of production. Services cover also roof underlay products and their properties.
Most of the testing methods of Eurofins Expert Services are accredited by national accreditation services (FINAS T001). Additionally Eurofins Expert Services is a notified body for a number of product standards.
We are happy to serve you in all your needs concerning testing, CE marking and product approvals of roof waterproofing and underlay materials and products.
