On-site and laboratory tests, type tests

Our testing activities are consolidated by the Central Laboratory accredited according to MSZ EN ISO 17025:2005. The Central Laboratory includes the various industry-specific branch laboratories and regional laboratoriesof ÉMI. The quality of the tests is guaranteed by our well-prepared for professionals, advanced laboratory equipment, and a multi-level internal control system.

Our examination activities are diverse, performed by branch and regional laboratories operating in various fields or within the framework of the Central Laboratory.

Laboratories of ÉMI as designated and notified body (notified body number: 1415) perform certification, quality control tests and initial type tests for building materials for the issuance of a certificate of constancy of product performance.

As a result of the initial type tests a type test report, or by request, a type test certificate is issued.

ÉMI Non-profit Llc. performs investigation activities in the following cases

• Based on a product examination assignment
• Initial type test within the framework of assessment and verification of constancy of performance as a designated and notified testing and certification body
• Initial type test for issuing National Technical Assessment and European Technical Assessment as a Technical Assessment Body (TAB)
• Fire protection tests related to the issuance of a Fire Prevention Certificate of Compliance as a designated organization
• Determination of fire protection and fire grading characteristics related to the issuance of a Fire Prevention Certificate of Conformity
• Within the framework of expert activities
• Within the framework of expertise related to nuclear facilities
• Within the framework of application technical examination of a building product
• As part of a research activity by internal or external order
• Within the framework of testing and expert activities of construction supervision tasks
