ALTTRAN Technical Services (ATS) is proud to announce that our laboratory has earned A2LA accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 for mechanical testing of polymers and rubber materials. The accreditation recognizes ATS for technical competence within a defined scope and for operating a laboratory quality management system that meets the requirements of the internationally recognized standard.
For our customers, this accreditation provides an additional level of confidence in the testing data used to evaluate materials, troubleshoot production challenges, verify specifications, and support rubber compound development.
Our accredited scope includes testing methods for:
- Tensile properties — ASTM D412
- Density and specific gravity — ASTM D792 and ASTM D297
- Mooney viscosity and pre-vulcanization characteristics — ASTM D1646
- Durometer hardness — ASTM D2240
- Laboratory mixing and preparation of vulcanized sheets — ASTM D3182
- Dimensional measurement — ASTM D3767
- Vulcanization using rotorless cure meters (MDR) — ASTM D5289
- Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) — ASTM D6370 and ASTM E1131
- Infrared spectra for qualitative analysis (FTIR) — ASTM E1252
This milestone strengthens ATS’s commitment to providing reliable rubber and polymer testing backed by established methods, consistent procedures, and meaningful data manufacturers can use to make better material and production decisions.
