Frequently Asked Questions

We test tile adhesives (cementitious, dispersion, and reaction resin types), block mortars, plasters, and grouts. We are exclusively focused on this product category — we do not test general civil materials like concrete or steel.

Yes. For laboratory testing, we accept samples shipped from anywhere in India. On-site pull-off testing is currently available in Hyderabad and the surrounding region only.

Contact us via the inquiry form or phone to discuss your testing requirement. We will issue a sample submission guideline specifying the quantity, packaging, labelling, and shipping address. Most adhesive tests require 10–15 kg of mixed or unmixed material.

Standard test turnaround is 5–7 business days from receipt of samples. Some tests (particularly heat aging and freeze-thaw) require longer conditioning periods — we will advise you of the timeline in the quotation.

Each report includes the test parameter, the referenced standard and clause, the test result, the pass/fail criterion, and is signed by our technical signatory. Reports are issued digitally in PDF format.

Yes. We can run tests aligned to both standards on the same sample submission, which is particularly useful for manufacturers targeting both Indian and export markets.

Pull-off testing directly measures the tensile adhesion of tiles already installed on a building surface. A dolly is bonded to the tile, and a calibrated instrument applies an increasing tensile force until failure. The result tells you both the strength and the mode of failure (e.g., adhesive failure, cohesive failure, or substrate failure).

Useful scenarios: quality acceptance before project handover, investigating reported tile debonding, verifying adhesive product performance on site, and as part of a contractual quality inspection protocol.

A typical site visit covering 5–10 test locations takes 2–3 hours. We provide preliminary results on-site and a full signed report within 2–3 business days.

We are in the process of pursuing NABL accreditation. Our testing is performed per the relevant IS / EN / ISO standards using calibrated equipment, but our reports are not yet NABL-endorsed. Please contact us for current accreditation status before relying on reports for regulatory submissions.

For BIS IS mark certification purposes, reports from NABL-accredited labs are required. Our reports can support internal quality documentation, export documentation, and client-facing certification until NABL accreditation is obtained.

Pricing depends on the number of test parameters, the applicable standard, and any special requirements (e.g., expedited turnaround or on-site testing). Submit an inquiry and we will send you a detailed quotation within one business day.

Yes. If you need a full IS 15477 compliance test (all mandatory parameters), we offer bundled pricing that is more economical than individual tests. Ask about our standard testing packages when you request a quotation.
