- In 2007 – 2008 our chemical lab participated to an exercise

organized by Joint Research Centre of European Commission

for validating the testing method for melamine fiber

- In 2010 another participation took place for validating the testing

method for PAC fiber, also organized by JRC

Our physical – chemical laboratory has obtained highly appreciated results in both cases.

Infrastructure utilization

Thank you for your kind attention!
