Verification of suitability for Rockwell HRC hardness testing passed with 100% success
In 2014, IfEP GmbH – a German test-lab accreditation body – carried out international suitability verification for the area of testing designated “hardness testing as per Rockwell HRC (HRC-2014)“, in compliance with DIN EN ISO 6508-1 [1]. Continue reading
This verification of suitability involved 124 laboratories based in 23 different countries; 86 of them with certification to EN ISO/IEC 17025 standards.
Verification of suitability involved two tests; each involving the three hardness-comparison plates with different levels of hardness (20 HRC, 50 HRC and 65 HRC) and the material sample. The participants have all recently received the evaluation of their results: 85% of them passed the test successfully.
The result confirms our expertise in this area of testing and lab analysis, as Kuhn Special Steel belongs to the select inner circle of 43% of participants who managed to obtain top marks. We correctly measured all the sizes subject to testing, thereby confirming our maximum quality assurance in this respect.
