It provides professional product testing and physical quantities measurements in accordance with ISO 17025 standard. The research concerns fire safety, acoustics, structural noise and vibrations, materials’ physical properties, static and dynamic properties of various constructions. CTO S.A. operates accredited battery testing lab enabling the investigation of batteries in accordance with ECE R100 Rev2Regulation requirements for Rechargeable Energy Storage System (REESS).
CTO S.A. specialises in design and supply of research facilities and measuring equipment, in particular for experimental fluid mechanics applications, e.g. wind tunnels, cavitation tunnels, circulating water channels, towing carriages for model basins, dynamometers, flow measuring devices, wave probes and others.
CTO S.A. offers the research equipment both for industrial research laboratories and for educational institutions.
Furthermore CTO S.A. specialises in trainings, benchmark experiments and model testing as well as provides procedures describing conduction of various experiments.
EU notified product certification is the significant area of CTO’s activity. The services are addressed towards construction products manufacturers and system suppliers. The conformity of products with national or international standards, as well as the constancy of their functional properties is investigated and confirmed by CTO experienced staff. In addition, CTO issues EC type examination certificates for the conformity of particular marine equipment with the IMO requirements.
