The Deliverable

Every Test Produces a
Documented Certificate

Every item we test produces a signed, documented Certificate of Testing — including the actual load-vs-time graph recorded during the proof test. Certificates are delivered as a hard copy, on CD, and uploaded to your FASTTRACK account.

Each certificate documents test method (PROOF = 2×WLL), working load limit, peak load, proof test duration, and full traceability data.
