HBL operates numerous in-house test labs and quality labs at factory level. We have a full suite of test facilities for electrical, mechanical and environmental testing. We welcome witness testing as part of a project or customer qualification process. Where customers specify external labs for particular tests HBL is pleased to support those requests in conjunction with a project milestone.
