Material Testing Laboratory

Laboratory of Biomechanics has participated in material testing from the first time, particularly in tests of human bones. The year 2003 brought a significant change, when we set an Instron 8874 type biomechanical material testing machine going. Using this machine we got the possibility for the introduction of standard material tests beside our biomechanical studies, which raised the possibility of accreditation by establishing the required quality management system.

Thanks to a tender we started to realize the accreditation process of the testing activity of the laboratory in 2005, so the Biomechanical Material Testing Laboratory was founded in the same year for the purpose to sharply separate the accredited material testing activity with its quality management system from any other activity of the laboratory.

The main activity of the Material Testing Laboratory is the research: various biomechanical nature experiments, measurements and tests. In addition, in conjunction with the accredited activity we carry out external orders as well.

The Biomechanical Material Testing Laboratory works based on the quality assurance system regulated by the international standard EN ISO 17025. The test activity of the Laboratory was accredited in 2007 by the Hungarian Accreditation Board.
