We, CMCI, are happy with the service of 4ward Testing!
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.

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

We have been really satisfied with the high level of service, courtesy and clarity with which we have been helped in understanding the necessary requirements for the CE Marking of our products. The difference in approach between 4ward Testing and other European Test Laboratories has been huge
I would unconditionally recommend 4ward Testing for swift professional and informative testing based on past experiences with other testing institutes I have used. They are league leaders in my opinion, no red tape, no complicated administrative system, just plain and simple excellent customer service.
