Early detection of product issues can be the difference between a project’s success or failure. When it comes to verifying the quality of workmanship or the actual operating conditions, our highly skilled Test Team carries out testing regimes on-site and under real-world conditions.
Testing in a real-world landscape, helps us to understand if the product, material or system operated according to its intended design criteria.
The BBA’s Test facilities allow us to provide a comprehensive range of services covering a wide variety of products from; insulation materials and systems to windows and doors, sealants and adhesives, flooring materials and structural components.
We measure product performance across:
- Transportation
- Storage

Products are also verified and compared against traditional or alternative methods and solutions – this gives a complete overview.
