Testing for substances
Question
I would like to inquire about the availability of testing services for our self-rescue products at your laboratory. We are a manufacturer of RPDs (Respiratory Protective Devices), and we have three new self-rescuers that need to be certified for compliance with EN 403.
Specifically, we require testing for the presence of the following substances in our products:
Acrolein
Hydrogen chloride
Carbon monoxide
If your laboratory offers testing services for these substances, we kindly request you provide us with an application form and details regarding the pricing for these tests. Additionally, it would be helpful to know the estimated time period required to complete the testing process.
Answer
The Slovak Office of Standards, Metrology and Testing is a state administration body and does not perform testing.
We recommend you address your request to any Accredited Body from the list of Accredited Bodies for the respective area. The list can be found on the website of the Slovak National Accreditation Service (SNAS): https://ais.snas.sk/ais/#!Login
