ACCREDITIONS AND APPROVALS

Traditionally, imat has various accreditations, certifications and OEM approvals, which ensure a norm-compatible and reliable order processing.

On top of successful re-accreditations on a regular basis, imat constantly broadens testing capabilities within a flexible scope. Recently with emissions and paint testing to name just two.

This means that imat has been approved by the German accreditation body “DAkkS” within set limits to independently include new testing procedures in our existing accredited portfolio, thus enabling us to quickly react to market requirements.
