Providing trust
A key service
Every day we have to rely on the most varied products:
- trust the lamp in our house does not emit harmfull radiation
- trust than gasoline for the car has the appropriate composition
- trust that the concrete slab of our home floor conveniently supports the weight
- ….
There is national and international regulation to create this trust. However, the end products have to be tested, to ensure they comply with applicable regulations, and so are worthy of our trust.
This is what our Testing and Analysis area does: test products, materials and processes to ensure that they comply with the rules.
To give us confidence.
Validate processes
ISQ accredited Laboratories do not only support the in-house Engineering, Inspection and Training divisions but also provide external services for instance to the manufacturing sector, Oil & Gas, Aeronautical & Aerospace, Healthcare.
ISQ Testing offer covers the domains of Materials and Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Noise and Vibration, Environment and Chemistry, Energy, Metrology and Product (including reliability).
The accumulated experience and know-how is combined with the continuous development of new methodologies and processes allowing ISQ to be, today, a leading partner for some global organisations in the design, development, construction and implementation of their own testing or research laboratories.
ISQ track record includes also the design, construction and operation of specialised test benches for very special application in the Aeronautical & Aerospace sectors or the development of particular testing methodologies to be used in experimental nuclear facilities.
ISQ OFFER
Materials
A state of the art network of accredited laboratories, some of them mobile perform testing and analyses of industrial and consumer products, in accordance with internationally recognized methods and techniques.
We perform mechanic, metallographic and corrosion testing, chemical and structural characterisation of metallic and non-metallic materials and concrete diagnosis.
ISQ provides technical expertise and failure analysis, for both individuals and companies (insurance companies, assessment companies) and judicial authorities (General Attorney’s Office, Courts).
Based on the results of the tests and analyses performed in ISQ laboratories, we help our customers to meet the requirements of quality and safety standards for their products and services.
SERVICES
Non-Destructive Testing
Accredited laboratories, some of them mobile, enabling high performance of non-destructive testing according international standards and best practices.
ISQ performs non-destructive conventional testing using the basic principles of visual inspection, x-ray, ultrasound and electromagnetism to detect and assess the size of discontinuities in materials.
ISQ offers to a vast array of advanced non-destructive testing – Digital x-ray, Phased array, Automatized phased array, Immersion ultrasound (iris), Guided waves, EMAT and ACFM – and we have our own capacity to develop technical applications suited to the needs of our clients.
With the results of testing and analysis made at the ISQ laboratories we help our clients reach the patterns of quality and security of their products and services.
SERVICES
Products Performance Evaluation
A well-equipped network of accredited laboratories, perform tests and analyses of industrial and consumer products, in accordance with internationally recognized methods and techniques.
ISQ can search for defects on polymeric materials using metallographic tests or surface analysis.
Reliability tests can be done using several environmental parameters like temperature, humidity, vibration, low pressure, ozone, solar radiation, salt spray or chemical agents. These tests can be monitored helping by this way the detection and the understanding of failures.
The study of modal analysis is also an important tool to know the behaviour of structures or equipment subjected to mechanical actions.
For electrical products, ISQ provides tests regarding the compliance with safety or electromagnetic compatibility requirements.
Using a wide range of techniques, ISQ performs thermodynamic evaluations and studies and tests on materials to space and aeronautics industries.
Based on the results of the tests and analyses performed in ISQ laboratories, we help our customers to achieve quality and safety standards of their products and services.
