Testing

Senco R&D offers customers a comprehensive range of test procedures. Many of these procedures are established in Norms (DIN Norms, Austrian Norms etc). Furthermore, many test procedures for raw materials, semi- and finished products are used, which are documented as part of the Management System and are in specification agreements with customers and suppliers and are an integral part of commercial contracts.
