Material testing institute

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A materials testing institute , a materials testing institute or a materials testing office is an independent testing laboratory . She works in the field of materials technology and building materials technology, and in particular in the field of materials testing and building material testing .

The MPA institutes are often affiliated with universities and colleges . In addition to material testing , research projects and expert activities are also carried out by the MPA. The MPA therefore offer a field of activity for scientists , engineers and technical employees such as material testers and building material testers or assistants . In addition to the MPA at state level, there is also the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) in Berlin, whose predecessor institutions each had the Material Testing Office as part of their name between 1904 and 1956 . The institutions are in no superordinate or subordinate relationship. The areas of responsibility of the Federal Agency and the MPAs differ. In the course of the restructuring and modernization of the state authorities, further privatization is sought.

The MPAs are organized in the Verband der Materialprüfungsämter eV (VMPA).
