This service code includes providing meteorological analysis of the atmosphere and predicting weather processes and weather conditions

This service code includes

1. testing and analysis of the chemical and biological properties of materials such as air, water, waste (municipal and industrial), fuels, metal, soil, minerals, food and chemicals;

2. testing and analysis in related scientific fields such as microbiology, biochemistry, bacteriology, etc.;

3. testing and analysis of physical properties such as strength, ductility, electrical conductivity or radioactivity of materials such as metals, plastics, textiles, woods, glass, concrete and other materials; tests for tension, hardness, impact resistance, fatigue resistance and high-temperature effects;

4. testing and analysis of the mechanical and electrical characteristics of complete machinery, motors, automobiles, tools, appliances, communication equipment and other equipment incorporating mechanical and electrical components.
