A.E.V.M. testing on external joinery and curtain walls

This test is designed to assess the air permeability, water tightness and wind resistance of joinery or facades. It can be combined with tests designed to assess mechanical characteristics (operating forces, axial torsion resistance, bracing, safety device resistance). It is carried out at FCBA and also directly on your premises.

Assessment methods for ‘termite barriers’

The various standards/methods aim to test the effectiveness of products or materials that act as barriers to termites in the laboratory and in the field.

Climatic tests

These tests are designed to assess product deformation when subjected to differential climatic conditions (one climate on one side, a different climate on the other) or successive uniform conditions. They may be supplemented by an assessment of air permeability before and after exposure, mechanical characteristics (operating forces, axial torsion resistance, bracing, hard and heavy impact, soft and heavy impact, etc.).

Determination of protective efficacy against Anobium punctatum by observing egg laying and larval survival rates

Cet essai se déroule en 2 parties : La première partie avec une application par traitement de surface (Méthode de laboratoire) et la deuxième partie avec l'application par traitement en profondeur (Méthode de laboratoire). Ces 2 normes (NF EN 49-1 et NF EN 49-2) décrivent des méthodes de laboratoire visant la détermination de l'efficacité protectrice, ou du seuil d'efficacité, d'un produit de préservation du bois, appliqué par traitement de surface, ou par imprégnation, contre l'infestation d'Anobium punctatum.
