- On request, we can perform tests according to ISO and regional standards
Our ADC based in Oragadam, India is a recognized Intertek Satellite Laboratory and is therefore an ISO17025 Accredited Laboratory.
We also do our best to fulfill any special testing requirements that you might have. Please contact your local sales representative to discuss any specific conditions.
Can I participate in testing?
With a signed agreement in place, any customer is welcome to participate in the testing of their own units. We will organize your visit to ensure the confidentiality of your testing.
Can testing be watched in real time?
In order to ensure the highest level of data security, real-time online observations are not possible. Instead, we compile and deliver data sets on an ongoing basis for your review. You can then discuss the results with a Danfoss representative.
