# Audit to understand the failure

## Are you experiencing failures in your laboratories that you want to understand?

### What is a failure?

First of all, a failure is a deterioration of a product or a material.

Several origins can lead to this deterioration, notably a manufacturing problem, a customer return, the composition of the material, etc.

Moreover, a failure can manifest itself in multiple forms:

- Part failure
- Corrosion phenomenon
- Presence of pollution or deposits
- Surface wear
- Premature degradation

So many contexts which initiate in the industrialists a need for audit to understand the failure, then to seek solutions with the support of a specialized laboratory.

## FILAB assesses the nature and origin of your failures thanks to the expertise of its teams

With its dual expertise in chemistry and materials, the FILAB laboratory offers you audits to understand the failure and accurately assess the potential cause(s) of your production defects.

Through a tailor-made support and a progressive analytical approach, FILAB laboratory accompanies you on the following services:
