Analysis for safety-related parts and components

Quality assurance for the security and defence industry

As an accredited measurement and analysis service provider in accordance with DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025, we support quality, development, and purchasing along the defence supply chain – for manufacturers, integrators, and suppliers – with clear documentation and reliable decision-making bases for the highest requirements in terms of reliability and standard compliance.

Our six key areas of expertise – industrial computed tomography, industrial metrology, optical metrology, technical cleanliness verification, materialography, and chemical analytics – form a powerful spectrum for testing and validating safety-related parts and components.

When failure is not an option

In safety-critical applications, dimensional accuracy, material integrity, and cleanliness determine function and reliability. With accredited testing and analysis services, we support manufacturers and suppliers throughout the entire product life cycle – from development to prototypes and series production to maintenance and damage analysis.

You receive traceable test results and documentation – so that risks can be identified early and effectively minimized, especially where failures are not an option.

Quality requires analysis.
So does safety.

Investigation of highly critical (micro)electronic components

Securing electronics and sensor technology

Evaluation of highly critical (micro)electronic components and assemblies for sensor, control, and communication systems including defect analysis, assembly and connection testing (solder/bond joints), and detection of structural defects.

Materialographic analysis of safety-related components

Verifying material integrity

Characterization of materials and components relevant to safety, e.g., corrosion resistance, material purity, microstructure, hardness, alloy composition, and changes due to stress and aging.

Industrial measurement for metrological evaluations

Ensuring dimensional accuracy and fit

Metrological evaluation of regular geometries and free-form surfaces, e.g., form and position tolerances, wall thickness measurement, and nominal/actual and actual/actual comparisons, including color-coded deviation display.

Structure and integrity testing using micro- and macro-CT

Non-destructive "inspections"

Structural and integrity testing using macro CT and micro CT as well as optical metrology: assembly inspection, porosity and inclusion analysis, crack detection, and complete recording of the internal geometry.

Analysis of particulate and chemical film contaminants

Proving technical cleanliness

Residue, contamination, and residual dirt analysis on safety-relevant components – in accordance with VDA 19.1, ISO 16232, and customer specifications.

Element and pollutant analysis for purity assessment

Identifying contamination and foreign substances

Element and pollutant analyses, e.g., purity testing of raw materials, identification and quantification of residues, contamination, or foreign particles.

Analysis of coatings, e.g., using FIB-SEM

Evaluating coatings and welded joints

Analysis of coatings, coating systems, and weld seams, e.g., coating thickness measurement, adhesion evaluation, weld seam qualification, and microstructural examination.

Provide audit-compliant evidence

Testing and analysis solutions with clear documentation and reliable decision-making bases – tailored to the evidence and documentation requirements of the defence industry.

What sets us apart:

Added value in Quality Analysis

Why we are your partner for highly reliable components and safety-critical applications

Audit-compliant evidence

Test and analysis results from a DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025-accredited environment.

Protection of sensitive goods

Access controls and controlled logistics secure components and information throughout the entire project.

Confidentiality

NDA/confidentiality for data, test results, and components project-related and binding.

Defence expertise

Focus on traceability, compliance with standards, and documented testing processes.

Everything from a single source

CT, industrial metrology, materialography, cleanliness verification and chemical analysis in a coordinated analysis concept.

Clear basis for decisions

Customized reports and evaluations – for series approval, system integration, or damage claims.

With sound testing technology and accredited analytics, we ensure that components and systems for safety-critical applications comply with standards, thereby laying the foundation for maximum reliability, regulatory compliance, and reliable use in air, land, and sea defence.

Frequently asked questions about our testing services in the field of security and defence

What testing and analysis services do you offer for defence?

We tests safety-related parts and components using CT, optical and tactile metrology, technical cleanliness verification, materialography, and chemical analytics. This allows for reliable evaluation of dimensional accuracy, material integrity, contamination, coatings, weld seams, and electronic assemblies.

Why are your test reports suitable for audits and regulatory compliance?

You receive results with defined, documented testing processes, traceability, and verifiable measurement reliability – a central basis for audit, approval, and regulatory requirements – in a DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025-accredited environment.

How do you provide support in the event of failure in the defence industry?

We provide reliable findings on the cause, e.g., cracks, delamination, foreign particles/contaminants and evaluate coatings, weld seams, and electronic assemblies. From this, we derive preventive measures and clear decision-making criteria.

Can you also test electronic and sensor-based systems?

Yes. We examine (micro-)electronic assemblies, printed circuit boards, contact and bond points, and sensor components e.g., – with regard to connection quality, delamination, moisture/material effects, and contamination.

What are the advantages of working with an accredited testing service provider?

You reduce risk through clear evidence, clean documentation, and fast, reliable assessments from initial samples/prototypes to series production and damage claims. This increases reliability and supports your decisions in development, quality, and purchasing.
