Properties and Integrity of Principles SIRIM QAS provides globally accepted and professional testing services for plastics and composite materials and products. Our accredited laboratories carry out reliable tests to verify the quality of samples, allowing manufacturers to demonstrate compliance with national and international standards and secure the trust of customers.
Testing for Perfection - Plastics and Composite Materials/ Products Testing
The use of plastics and composite materials and products has expanded into various sectors. As the performance and properties of plastics and composites are time-dependent, it is crucial to ensure they meet technical specifications and are able to withstand stress during the materials selection and product development process. Testing provides quality assurance and helps to identify significant properties and performance characteristics to facilitate a wider range of sustainable plastics and composites applications.
SIRIM QAS, an accredited testing body, is equipped with extensive
facilities and experienced personnel, operating competently to deliver reliable test results. We are committed to assist manufacturers in ensuring that plastics and composite materials and products comply with national or international standards. We offer comprehensive testing services of plastics and composites materials and products in these core areas:
