4ward Testing have been involved in providing performance values for our coating products for several years. We have found them to be professional and accommodating in all aspects of quality and expediency. They offer both value and service, giving confidence to Sika and the markets we serve
Sika
The testing that 4ward carried out was of a high standard, met deadlines and targets that were necessary and we were kept involved with regular updates as the testing progressed. The support and guidance that 4ward offered to us as an individual company and via their input to BASA was greatly received and helped the industry increase it’s knowledge of what is still a confusing issue. I’m sure that that the issue of CE Marking will continue to evolve and encompass more products, but it is our intention to continue to use 4ward for our CE Marking requirements whether for new product development or where new Harmonized Standards emerge.

They are league leaders in my opinion, no red tape, no complicated administrative system, just plain and simple excellent customer service.
