    In short

    ASTM G155 - Standard practice for operating xenon arc lamp apparatus for exposure of nonmetallic materials. Amstelfy's laboratory in Amstelveen performs this ASTM method for plastics, coatings, membranes, composites: xenon-arc ageing. Testing is on the ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation scope NAC-037-TL, which lets European manufacturers prepare US evaluation-report programmes without shipping samples overseas.

    Route to market

    US and international evaluation-report programmes (ICC-ES, IAPMO UES, ACI 318 qualification) accept data from ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratories. Amstelfy runs these programmes in the Netherlands so European manufacturers avoid shipping samples overseas; the evaluation report itself is issued by the evaluation service.
