These include tests, approvals and inspections in the areas of pressure equipment, welding technology and hazardous goods, as well as conformity assessments. Other services include CE markings and certifications, assessments, expert opinions and specialist training and further education.
The Swiss Safety Center also has recognised expertise in the fields of materials science, metallurgy, materialography and corrosion and prepares damage analyses, expert reports and expert opinions.
