Pourquoi travailler avec un laboratoire homologué LIEBHERR Aerospace ?
Approval by a global leader in aerospace systems such as LIEBHERR is a guarantee of absolute trust. For your projects, it means the assurance of:
Ensuring strict compliance of your parts with the requirements of major clients.
Accelerating the qualification of your industrial processes and subcontractors.
Securing your quality audits thanks to recognized and indisputable analysis reports.
Benefit from complete neutrality and cutting-edge expertise in the event of a dispute or failure.
The FILAB laboratory carries out chemical analysis of aerospace materials under LIEBHERR approval
Nos domaines d’expertise analytique sous homologation LIEBHERR
- Mass and Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES / AES)
This technique enables extremely precise multi-element analysis to determine the overall chemical composition of your materials and detect trace impurities.
- Optical Emission Spectrometry (OES)
Ideal for fast, accurate analysis of solid alloys, this method is a standard for incoming material inspection.
The presence of interstitial gases can alter the mechanical properties of metals. We perform determination by combustion or fusion to:
Carbon (C) and Sulfur (S)
Oxygen (O), Nitrogen (N) and Hydrogen (H)
Going further: metallography and microstructure
Because chemistry is not everything, we also analyze the internal structure of the metal
Microstructural assessment to detect any phase anomalies.
Grain size measurement to validate your heat treatment cycles.
Why entrust your aerospace materials chemical analysis to FILAB laboratory?
- Independence and impartiality: as a third-party laboratory, FILAB provides complete neutrality. This is a major advantage in disputes with a supplier or when validating a first article inspection (FAI).
- Recognized technical robustness: LIEBHERR approval demonstrates our complete mastery of our processes. It is the strong signal you send to your clients: a commitment without compromise to quality and safety.
- Responsiveness and proximity: based in France, FILAB offers a level of agility that large international groups do not. We understand the challenges of time-to-market and production stoppages. We handle your urgent requests with the rigor required by the LIEBHERR framework.
Customer Qualification
NADCAP ACCREDITATION
In April 2026, FILAB obtained NADCAP accreditation in Materials Testing Laboratories (MTL). This accreditation covers in particular our chemical analysis services (ICP, SEO, elemental analysis C/S, N/O, H) and metallography. It enables us to support our aerospace clients even more effectively.
SAFRAN APPROVAL
Several years ago, FILAB obtained Laboratory Qualification from the SAFRAN group under procedures GRP-0087, GRM-0123 and TTS-MOP-004. This qualification is regularly renewed following audits carried out by Safran at our premises.
DASSAULT AVIATION APPROVAL
In March 2025, the FILAB laboratory obtained DASSAULT AVIATION approval. This approval makes FILAB a reliable partner for aerospace manufacturers.
AIRBUS DEFENCE AND SPACE QUALIFICATION
Since May 2026, the FILAB laboratory has been qualified by AIRBUS Defence and Space for chemical analysis for C/S analysis, O analysis, N analysis, H analysis, ICP-AES analysis, and spark optical emission spectrometry.
Our FAQ
Choosing a LIEBHERR laboratory drastically reduces your operational risks. Many aerospace clients prohibit the use of results from non-accredited laboratories for special processes. With FILAB, you secure the acceptability of your files.
To get a quote, you can contact our teams via our contact form, by phone, or by email.
All you need to do is send us your requirements (material type, analysis requested, any applicable standard, urgency, number of samples, etc.). We will then send you a personalized technical and pricing proposal within 24-48 hours.
We are accredited for analysis on alloys based on Aluminium (Al), Iron (Fe), Nickel (Ni) and Titanium (Ti), covering most critical aerospace structural and propulsion needs.
In addition to our specific customer approvals (such as LIEBHERR), the FILAB laboratory is accredited to ISO 17025 by COFRAC (scopes available at www.cofrac.fr) and is NADCAP accredited. This dual recognition guarantees the technical reliability and complete impartiality of our results on an international scale.
Lead times vary depending on the nature of the analysis and the complexity of the expert assessment project.
However, FILAB is committed to providing fast turnaround times tailored to your constraints and industrial urgencies.
