INSTITUTE FOR TESTING AND CERTIFICATION

Construction Laboratory

The ITC construction testing facility after the merge with the CSI testing facilities – The Centre of Civil Engineering, which was established in 2019, provides its services at the level of contemporary technical knowledge in the field of testing of building materials and products. The testing facilities merged into two accredited laboratories – ATL 1007.1 in Zlín – Louky and ATL 1007.4 in Prague, which have a large number of accredited test methods, listed in individual attachments to the Certificate of Accreditation.

Issued test reports are most often used as a basis for assessment of conformity according to Government Regulation No. 163/2002 Coll., which sets technical requirements for selected construction products and CPR, which sets technical requirements for CE-marked construction products.
