The Fiber Institute’s laboratory offers a comprehensive range of testing methods for determining the properties of plastics, fibers, textile products, and fiber-reinforced composites. Its expertise and competence are based on the many years of experience of its skilled staff, its outstanding equipment, and the synergy between research, development, and the development of testing methods.
Since 2002, the laboratory’s accreditation according to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025 has ensured consistent quality in testing. Our climate-controlled laboratories guarantee compliance with the climatic requirements specified in DIN EN ISO 139 and DIN EN ISO 291, enabling test procedures to be conducted under the prescribed environmental conditions.
The testing laboratory has over 60 years of accumulated expertise in laboratory management, quality assurance, and the conduct of interlaboratory tests. In addition, it serves both to support research projects and to meet the diverse requirements of external customers in the aviation, automotive, textile, wind energy, plastics, and other industries. Both standardized and customized testing procedures are employed for this purpose.
