QUALITY: Recognitions
SGS LABORATORIES OF CESTAS AND ÉTUPES ARE REGULARLY AUDITED AND VALIDATED
by main industrial OEMs to ensure that results meet the standards and methods required and designed by the manufacturers themselves (Renault-Nissan, PSA, VW, Toyota, Airbus, Dassault, …).BOTH SITES ARE APPROVED FOR ALMOST ALL TESTS THEY PERFORM :
Climatic, corrosion, photo aging, pressure cycling, appearance testing, mechanical, vibration, etc.These 2 laboratories are also recognized by stakeholders as active participants in the testing methods improvements.
QUALITY: accreditations
SGS LABORATORIES OF CESTAS AND ÉTUPES ARE ACCREDITED BY THE COFRAC
According to international standard ISO/CEI 17025 (ref. 1-6465 and 1-6468, sites and scopes available on www.cofrac.fr).
This recognition ensures the technical competence and reliability of the results provided by our laboratories, on the scope of accreditation considered.
THEREFORE THEY MEET REQUIREMENTS OF THE GLOBAL AUTOMOTIVE QUALITY STANDARD,
which is IATF 16949:2016 (§7.1.5.3.2 External Laboratory). Thanks to the multilateral agreements to which Cofrac is a signatory, this accreditation is recognized in most countries in the world, by bodies such as DAKKS in Germany, ENAC in Spain, and UKAS in the UK.
CESTAS' LABORATORY IS ALSO NADCAP ACCREDITED
(non-metallic material testing program) for composite material characterization. This accreditation is recognized by major aerospace companies.
