# Aerospace product testing

## Laboratory analysis and testing for the Aerospace sector

### An independent laboratory for the qualification and expertise of your aerospace components and materials

Given the rigorous safety and performance requirements of the [Aerospace sector](https://filab.fr/en/sectors-of-activity/laboratory-analysis-aeronautics-aerospace.md), material and system validation is a critical step. We support OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers in compliance monitoring and failure analysis.

### Our areas of expertise

##

 We provide testing and analysis services in accordance with major international standards (ASTM, MIL-STD, ISO) and specific manufacturer requirements. Material characterization
Chemical and structural analysis of [metallic alloys](https://filab.fr/en/analysis-of-metallic-alloys-in-the-laboratory.md), [polymers](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-analysis-services/polymer-materials-analysis-laboratory/laboratory-material-testing/laboratory-polymer-characterization/), [composites](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-analysis-services/laboratory-analysis-composite-material/), and [ceramics](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-analysis-services/polymer-materials-analysis-laboratory/laboratory-material-testing/laboratory-ceramic-testing/), safety test (Pr6300-Pr1500)

 Mechanical testing
[Tensile](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-expertise-services/mechanical-laboratory-test/tensile-test-materials-laboratory.md), [hardness](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-expertise-services/mechanical-laboratory-test/hardness-analysis-and-measurement-laboratory.md) ([Vickers](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-expertise-services/mechanical-laboratory-test/vickers-hardness-testing-hv-in-laboratory.md), [Rockwell](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-expertise-services/mechanical-laboratory-test/laboratory-testing-and-measurement-of-rockwell-hardness.md)), fatigue, and impact testing to validate physical properties.

 Surface analysis
Control of [surface treatments, coating](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-analysis-services/laboratory-surface-characterization/surface-coating-thickness-measurement.md) thickness measurement, and adhesion analysis.

 Environmental testing
[Corrosion resistance](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-expertise-services/laboratory-analysis-deposit-contamination/corrosion-resistance-testing.md) ([salt spray](https://filab.fr/en/our-technical-resources/laboratory-salt-spray-corrosion-tests.md)), thermal cycling, and resistance to aerospace fluids.

 Failure analysis
[Fractography](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-analysis-services/polymer-materials-analysis-laboratory/laboratory-material-characterization/fractographic-analysis-laboratory/) (fracture surface analysis), pollution identification, and root cause analysis via SEM-EDX.

## Our FAQ

 What accreditations do you hold for the aerospace sector?
Our laboratory is **ISO 17025** accredited, ensuring methodological rigor and data reliability. We also operate in compliance with **AS9100 / EN 9100** standards and hold specific qualifications from major OEMs 

 What types of materials can you analyze?
We test a wide range of materials: light alloys (Aluminum, Titanium), high-performance steels, polymers, organic matrix composites, ceramics, and metallic powders for additive manufacturing.

 Do you perform Root Cause Analysis (RCA) for failures?
Yes. This is one of our core specialties. Using Scanning Electron Microscopy (FEG-SEM) and metallographic examinations, we identify the origin of failures (fatigue, overload, corrosion, material defects) to help you improve your processes.
