FUX ZRt. laboratory

Quality is our main consideration in our entire production process, including product inspection.

The activities of the FUX ZRt. testing laboratory include structural, mechanical and electrical tests of raw materials, semi-finished products and finished products.

The laboratory works in two shifts with experienced and well-trained laboratory technicians. The laboratory is equipped with modern measuring and testing equipment and other hand- held measuring instruments.

The management of the FUX ZRt. is committed to operating and continuously developing the quality management system according to the ISO 9001 standard, thereby facilitating the high- quality fulfillment of customer needs and expectations. Our laboratory is currently under accreditation based on MSZ EN ISO/IEC 17025:2018 (ISO/IEC 17025:2017).

Our tests are carried out in accordance with national and international standards.
