Styropek Services in Mexico

Thermal Insulation Materials Laboratory

Historical background

The Thermal Insulation Materials laboratory was accredited for the first time under the NMX-EC-IMNC (ISO / IEC17025) standard since 2003 at Polioles Lerma, in the State of Mexico, and in early 2019 it moved to the Styropek Altamira facilities, in Tamaulipas; thus continuing with the commitment to offer quality services and customer service.

This laboratory was the first nationwide to achieve accreditation under the NOM-018-ENER-2011 standard, and currently also provides analysis services under the NMX-C-463-ONNCCE-2010 and NMX-C-137-ONNCCE- 2010.

Accreditation as a testing laboratory

The federal government, through the Secretary of Energy, grants powers to Entidad Mexicana de Acreditación, A.C. To guarantee the technical competence of our laboratory in the tests established in NOM-018-ENER-2011, in this way the results reports are recognized by the certifying bodies of thermal insulation materials.
