The laboratory was accredited by the Polish Centre for Accreditation on 1.10.2004 under the Accreditation Certificate No. AB 536. The last verification of accreditation rights took place in August 2020.
Technological and strength hall Laboratory equipped with a crane with a lifting capacity of 5 tons, testing machines with force ranges from 30 to 6000 kN, and a separate part for the preparation of concrete mix. The Laboratory's equipment makes it possible to perform destructive tests of structural elements on a natural scale. In the area of the hall, there is a 6 m x 18 m large force plate that allows any position to be prepared for the loading of large-sized concrete elements.
