Key facts
- Testing at the Honiton address only
- UKAS schedule 7583 lists Composite Test & Evaluation at Units 4 & 5 Kingsgate, Heathpark Industrial Estate, Duchy Road, Honiton, EX14 1YG and says testing is performed at the above address only.
- Defined composite and adhesive scope
- The schedule lists mechanical testing for fibre-reinforced plastic composites and structural adhesives.
Testing capabilities
Fibre-reinforced plastic composite mechanical tests
The schedule lists compressive, flexural, in-plane shear, interlaminar shear and tensile testing for fibre-reinforced plastic composites.
Structural adhesive mechanical tests
The schedule lists metal-to-metal peel, metal-to-honeycomb-core peel and single-lap-shear testing for structural adhesives.
Equipment and published limits
| Specification | Published value | Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| Published composite-test environment and force ranges | 23 ± 3 °C; humidity below a maximum of 60% RH; 0.1–250 kN for named compressive, flexural, in-plane-shear and tensile entries; 0.1–10 kN for interlaminar shear | These are the schedule’s named composite-test conditions and entries. Confirm the applicable method, specimen, conditioning and current suitability directly. |
