Masonry Units Testing
The Proficiency Testing Program (PTP) aims to compare and evaluate the results of tests conducted on masonry units in compliance with selected parts of EN 772 and EN 15435. The program strives to provide objective information about the measuring skills of PTP participants. The primary criterion for participation is timely registration for the program. The prerequisites for obtaining the Certificate of Participation and the Final Report on the Results of Interlaboratory Comparison are timely fee payment and adherence to the schedule. Trade surcharge of 62 % for selected countries (Algeria, Colombia, etc.). This is a fee associated with the complexity of documents and tax administration.
