Testing and inspection

This is the service most useful to a small manufacturer chasing a certification or an export order: independent test reports without building a laboratory of your own.

What you get

• Mechanical testing — tensile strength, yield, elongation, Brinell, Vickers and Rockwell hardness, Charpy and Izod impact, and fatigue.
• Chemical and spectrometric analysis — optical emission spectrometry for ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plus wet chemistry for detailed alloy composition.
• Foundry sand and casting tests — AFS grain fineness, green compressive strength, permeability, moisture and clay content, casting defect analysis, metallography, microstructure and carbon equivalent.
• Dimensional and CMM inspection — geometric tolerancing, profile analysis and first article inspection reports.
• Non-destructive testing — ultrasonic flaw detection, dye penetrant and magnetic particle inspection, surface roughness, 3D scanning and deviation analysis.
• Leather and footwear testing — tensile and tear strength, elongation at break, sole-to-upper adhesion, outsole abrasion, flex cracking, water absorption and leather thickness.

Who can apply

• Anyone. No eligibility condition is stated.

How selection works: there is none. Samples are registered and given an identifier, routed to the right laboratory section, tested on calibrated equipment, reviewed by senior technical staff and returned as a signed report carrying a NABL header, uncertainty of measurement and a traceability chain.

How to apply: submit the sample at the Agra head office with a test request form naming the parameters, the standard and the end use. If a buyer or certifier will rely on the report, ask to see the laboratory's accreditation certificate and confirm your test sits inside its scope — no certificate number, scope document or validity date is published.
