We are not a consulting service, we are here to transfer experiences. We don't charge for advice so we aren't focused on just making ourselves look good. We won't recommend any testing if it is not necessary. We believe the simple solutions are the best, and the easiest to get the most success.
Do you ever wonder what exactly that standard is supposed to mean? How to run it properly. Oftentimes, the standard is not clear, and there are "interpretations" that the authors did not realize they were leaving. Many standards are badly written, which causes labs to run the standard incorrectly. Ever get inconsistent results. or results that don't match other labs? Perhaps the standard is part of the cause. We can help with that.
Are you preparing for an ISO 17025 audit? Not sure if you are ready? Need to hire that independent person to review your lab, or even possibly perform an internal audit for you.

We are the anti-consultant balancing force. Too much advice only seems to make the project more complicated, more expensive, more confusing. Our motto is "simpler is better", and we will apply Ockam's Razor on any project and simplify it the basic essentials and get you moving forward again. Because we are not affiliated to any manufacturer or test lab, we can recommend any and all options for getting unstuck.
We can help with almost any issue in the weathering or corrosion lab. If you need basic training for the entry level tech, or more advanced training for the experienced staff, we can help. We can perform direct training online targeted to a specific individual or for a specific task. All we need is to know what task, and what level. This goes for published test methods, or any of the other laboratory procedures.
