The Federal Accreditation Service (Rosaccreditation) confirmed the competence and expanded the scope of accreditation of the SPbGASU Testing Center. The corresponding order was received on 17 October.
As reported by the employee of the Testing Center, Associate Professor at the Department of Technology of Construction Materials and Metrology Irina Aubakirova, the SPbGASU Testing Center has been accredited in the national accreditation system since May 2015. This year, it once again confirmed its competence, which was the merit of all three divisions: the Centre for Testing of Construction Materials and Products, the Center of Mechanical Testing of Structural Units, the Center for Physical and Technical Testing of Structural Units.
"The competence confirmation procedure proves that the accredited entity consistently complies with the requirements of GOST ISO/IEC 17025-2019 and the accreditation criteria. However, by the time of the inspection, it is necessary to analyze the technical equipment of all divisions (the availability of verification, calibration and certification of all measuring instruments and testing equipment) in accordance with the scope of accreditation, update the regulatory framework and verify test methods according to newly introduced standards. An important task for the entire Testing Center was to demonstrate the implemented management system. In 2024, the management system documents were updated: Quality Manual, Testing Center Regulation, internal audits were conducted, risks and opportunities were analyzed, information on customer satisfaction was collected, and the competence of the personnel was assessed," said Irina Aubakirova.
"This guarantees that we conduct experiments in full compliance with all standards. We have not had a single complaint, a 100% hit," noted the director of the Testing Center Sergey Bezpalchuk.
The Testing Center is an SPbGASU structural division. It conducts tests of construction products: materials, products, structures, independent of manufacturers and consumers.
