Client Qualification & Accreditation
NADCAP ACCREDITATION
En avril 2026, FILAB a obtenu l'accréditation NADCAP en Materials Testing Laboratories (MTL). Cette accréditation couvre notamment nos services d'analyse chimique (ICP, SEO, analyse élémentaire C/S, N/O, H), et métallographie. Elle nous permet d'accompagner encore mieux nos clients du secteur aéronautique.
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.
FRAMATOME APPROVAL
In 2020, the FILAB laboratory obtained FRAMATOME supplier approval and is now part of the AVL (Approved Vendor List).
EDF PMUC APPROVAL
Le laboratoire FILAB est agréé par EDF pour réaliser les analyses nécessaires à l’homologation PMUC. Agréé depuis de nombreuses années sur les analyses chimiques d’halogènes et de soufre, l’agrément de FILAB a été étendu récemment aux analyses spécifiques aux produits de la famille 021 (Résines échangeuses d’ions et de Produits de Conditionnement).
DASSAULT AVIATION APPROVAL
In March 2025, the FILAB laboratory obtained DASSAULT AVIATION approval. This approval makes FILAB a reliable partner for aerospace manufacturers.
AUBERT & DUVAL APPROVAL
Since 2024, the FILAB laboratory has been approved by Aubert & Duval for the analysis of solid materials and powders. A benchmark player in the aerospace, medical devices and defense sectors, FILAB stands out as a key partner for ICP-AES analysis.
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.
Research Tax Credit approval (CIR)
FILAB’s approval under the Research Tax Credit scheme has been renewed by the Ministry of Higher Education and Research until 2026. This approval allows some of our clients developing R&D activities to deduct certain services entrusted to FILAB.
