Borçelik R&D Test Center receives TÜRKAK accreditation
Borçelik’s R&D Test Center was accredited by TÜRKAK under TS EN ISO/IEC 17025:2017. The accredited scope is limited to four named test areas.
At a glance
- The accredited scope covers tensile testing, Vickers hardness testing, coating-thickness measurement by SEM and salt spray corrosion testing.
- Borçelik says the center’s services are intended to support product development, quality assurance, damage analysis and export processes in several industrial sectors.
What does the scope include?
Tensile tests carried out under TS EN ISO 6892-1 determine the room-temperature mechanical strength, yield and tensile limits, and elongation properties of steel and other metallic materials. Vickers hardness tests under TS EN ISO 6507-1 measure the surface and internal-structure hardness of materials.
SEM analyses under ASTM B748 examine the thickness of metallic coatings from material cross-sections with sub-micron precision. Salt spray tests under ASTM B117-19 evaluate the corrosion resistance of coated and painted materials under accelerated ageing conditions.
According to Borçelik, test results within the accredited scope also support international acceptance processes under TÜRKAK’s multilateral recognition agreements with the European co-operation for Accreditation (EA) and the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC). The company says the center is intended to provide technical support for product development, quality assurance, damage analysis and export processes in sectors including automotive, white goods, construction, manufacturing and metals.

The center uses SI-traceable calibration by authorized organizations, certified reference materials, standard witness samples, inter-laboratory comparison programs and personnel comparison studies in its measurement processes. Borçelik says measurement uncertainty calculations are reflected in test reports.
