The associated tests and analyses validate the performance of materials, assemblies, and components under severe conditions: vibration, shock, corrosion, extreme temperatures, humidity, and pollution. FILAB assists defense industry companies in conducting analyses and assessments related to MIL-STD requirements. ## Perform tests according to MIL-STD standards in the laboratory Manufacturers use MIL-STD testing and laboratory analysis when they need to: - Verify the conformity of materials or components to a MIL-STD requirement - Qualify materials or processes for defense applications - Analyze the behavior of materials after environmental testing - Understand the origin of a non-conformity or failure - Ensure the reliability of equipment before commissioning - Justify conformity to a customer or regulatory authority ## Our services FILAB supports manufacturers in addition to MIL-STD testing, through targeted and expert material analyses: [BS corrosion tests](https://filab.fr/en/our-technical-resources/laboratory-salt-spray-corrosion-tests.md) [Surface pollution analysis](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-expertise-services/laboratory-analysis-deposit-contamination.md) [Failure analysis](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-expertise-services/laboratory-analysis-failures.md): material defect, deformation, adhesion [Non-destructive testing](https://filab.fr/en/our-technical-resources/tomography-analysis-laboratory.md) [Polymer deforming](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-analysis-services/polymer-materials-analysis-laboratory/deformulation-polymers-laboratory.md) [Electrochemical tests](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-expertise-services/electrochemical-characterization.md): galvanic coupling, corrosion rate, etc. [Surface treatment characterization](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-analysis-services/laboratory-surface-characterization/laboratory-analysis-expertise-surface-treatment.md) [Study of glue aging](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-analysis-services/chemical-analysis-laboratory/laboratory-analysis-industrial-adhesive.md) [Metallographic examination](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-analysis-services/metallurgical-analysis-laboratory/examination-metallographic-section-laboratory.md) [Surface analysis](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-analysis-services/laboratory-surface-characterization.md): surface treatment, surface finish, anodizing, passivation, heat treatment… Characterization of metallic powders ([MA 0015](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-analysis-services/laboratory-analysis-powder-characterization/powder-characterisation-according-to-ma-0015.md)) For all questions and needs for analyses according to a MIL-STD standard, we strongly encourage you to contact us directly to discuss your requirements.
