Overview
TCR Engineering, a NABL ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited laboratory (NABLT0726MH18640) in Navi Mumbai, tests building materials for construction quality assurance: bricks, ceramic and vitrified tiles, tile adhesives, AAC blocks, masonry mortar, cement, glass, sanitaryware and aluminium formwork. Testing follows the governing IS, ISO and ASTM methods, from compressive strength to thermal conductivity.
What Building-Materials Testing Covers
TCR tests building materials for construction quality assurance across structural and finishing works: bricks, ceramic and vitrified tiles, tile adhesives, AAC blocks, masonry mortar, cement, glass and glazing, sanitaryware, and aluminium formwork. Testing follows the governing IS, ISO, and ASTM methods, from compressive strength to thermal conductivity.
The governing-standards matrix below maps each material to its test anchor and standard.
