AXA CERT

Established in 2010, the AXA CERT Laboratory quickly became a reliable partner for manufacturers and suppliers in the construction industry in Romania, through professionalism, technical rigor and results obtained on time. Our staff has over 20 years of experience in the field.

We are authorized by the State Construction Inspectorate (ISC) to carry out tests and laboratory checks and authorized by the Permanent Technical Council for Construction (CTPC) to draw up Technical Approvals in Construction.

Starting in 2023, AXA CERT became a member of the TÜV AUSTRIA group, thus benefiting from its expertise and international recognition.

The AXA CERT laboratory specializes in the verification of products from the construction industry, offering mechanical-physical and fire reaction tests for a wide range of materials and systems: heat-insulating carpentry, insulating glazing elements, heat-insulating products for buildings, materials for screeds and masonry mortars, cementitious adhesives for ceramic tiles, as well as materials and construction elements tested for fire behavior.

We scientifically evaluate the performance of your products and issue, following the tests, test reports with the determination of the performance classes in which the tested product falls, using equipment and procedures that comply with the legislation in the field.
