Composite materials testing and qualification

Prove the performance of your materials, adhesives and components with independent testing through our UKAS accredited UK partner laboratory. Scoped by Allbase specialists and quoted per job.

Every discipline your specification needs. Tested independently, reported clearly.

Testing is matched to what you need to prove, whether that is a datasheet value, a certification requirement or confidence in a new layup before production.

Mechanical performance

Tensile, flexural, interlaminar shear and fatigue testing to BS EN ISO methods, on your laminates or on specimens prepared and conditioned for you.

Fire and reaction to fire

Reaction to fire and flammability testing for materials and finished components, supporting certification and specification evidence.

Environmental and ageing

Conditioning, accelerated ageing and durability programmes that show how materials behave over service life, not just on day one.

Thermal and chemical analysis

Glass transition, cure state, resin and fibre content and related analysis, giving you the numbers behind how a material will process and perform.

From a single batch to a full qualification programme.

Work is shaped around the decision you need to make, with the same specialist contact from first scope to final report.

Batch release testing

Confirm an incoming or outgoing batch meets its specification before it is committed to production.

Material qualification

End-to-end qualification of a material or system against the standards your sector requires.

Specimen preparation

Manufacture and conditioning of test specimens where you have material but not test pieces.

Bespoke programmes

Product evaluation and one-off investigations built around a question the standard methods do not answer.

How it works

A clear route from question to certified report. Scoped with a specialist and quoted per job.

  1. 01

    Tell us what you need to prove

    A datasheet value, a certification gap, a failure to understand. Send a short note about the job and any drawings or specs that help.

  2. 02

    Scope it with a specialist

    Methods, specimen counts and standards agreed with you, then a fixed quotation for the whole programme before anything is committed.

  3. 03

    Samples in, report out

    Material or components go to the laboratory, with preparation and conditioning handled where needed, and you receive a certified report you can put in front of a client or certifier.

Testing that feeds straight back into your specification. Independent proof, with somewhere for the results to go.

One point of contact

The programme is managed from scope to report, so you deal with one specialist rather than a laboratory booking system.

Results with somewhere to go

Findings connect directly to material selection through specification support and technical consultancy, so a test result turns into a decision.

Accredited and accountable

Testing is carried out through our UKAS accredited UK partner laboratory, with every programme quoted individually and no obligation to proceed.
