Testing Services for Waterproofing Products and Kits

Waterproofing products and kits are used for preventing water from penetrating the building structures for instance in wet rooms. We offer testing services for product development, product approval, and factory production control. The test results can be used for Product Certificate or for CE-marking of the products and systems through ETA-procedure (EAD 030352-00-0503; before ETAG 022).

Eurofins Expert Services determines by testing the properties of all liquid based water barriers, sheets, and mats including their respective accessory products. 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, product approvals and factory quality control of water barrier products and kits.

The testing methods

We comply with the requirements of product and testing standards but when needed and possible we can also adapt the testing programs to your needs such as for product development purposes.
