# Aubert & Duval approved laboratory

## Scope of accreditation: chemical analysis (ICP-OES, gas spectrometry) and microscopy – solid materials and powders

 

In sectors where material performance directly impacts equipment safety and reliability, analytical conformity is a prerequisite.

At FILAB laboratory, we operate as an [**Aubert & Duval accredited laboratory**](https://filab.fr/en/about-us/accreditations-en.md), performing chemical analyses and microstructural examinations on **solid materials and metallic powders**, in accordance with the defined scope of accreditation.

 

## A recognized accreditation for high-performance materials

[Aubert & Duval](https://www.aubertduval.com/en/) develops special [steels](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-analysis-services/metallurgical-analysis-laboratory/laboratory-of-analysis-and-expertise-of-steels.md), [superalloys](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-analysis-services/metallurgical-analysis-laboratory/superalloy-analysis-laboratory.md), and high-performance [alloys](https://filab.fr/en/analysis-of-metallic-alloys-in-the-laboratory.md) for critical environments (aerospace, energy, defense).

The certification attests to:

the conformity of analytical methods

the competence of the teams

technical mastery of equipment

the reliability and traceability of the results

## Scope of the agreement

### Chemical analysis

  ICP-OES
##

 Technique suitable for complex metal matrices and special alloys.
Major element analysis by[ICP/OES](https://filab.fr/en/our-technical-resources/laboratory-analysis-icp-icp-ms-icp-aes.md)

Multi-element analysis

Compliance check with material specifications

Inter-batch discrepancy detection

   Gas Spectrometry
##

 Essential parameters for mechanical strength, fatigue resistance or high temperature performance.

C/S analysis according to matrices

Control of fundamental interstitial elements

### Microscopy

  mo/meb
##

 Analysis carried out on bulk materials and powders with the aim of correlating the internal structure with the expected performance in service.
