Accredited testing

Accredited testing is conducted in VTI’s laboratories. In addition to being covered by VTI’s ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications, the laboratories at the Infrastructure department (INFRA) are accredited in accordance with SS-EN ISO 17025 for a number of testing methods within road surface materials, crash safety and vehicle testing.

In addition to the institute’s own controls, inspections and everyday work in good faith, compliance with the accreditation is also checked by Swedac who performs on-site inspections every 16 months (3 inspections per 4-year period).
