UTAC benefits from an outstanding range of testing laboratories dedicated to safety and the environment. Our specialists have been performing tests for the automotive industry for over 50 years, although their skills are also suited to a very wide range of manufacturing sectors.

We can perform analyses on your behalf involving the measurement, analysis, observation and monitoring of the behaviours and performance of industrial systems and components in the following fields :

• Impact behaviour (with four catapults, etc.)
• Dynamic behaviour and braking (with 11 km of track, etc.)
• Lighting and signalling (with 32 and 25-metre rooms, etc.)
• Exhaust gas emissions (with Euro 5 measurement units, etc.)
• Energy (with dynamic engine stands, etc.)

In this way, we perform testing for vehicle and equipment manufacturers in the automotive industry as well for the aeronautical, aerospace and rail transport sectors. 

Our skills have been officially recognised by both the French government and the European Commission on whose behalf we carry out studies on braking assistance, particle counts in emissions, national telephone network coverage, etc.

Last but not least, UTAC has been officially appointed to perform French, European and international testing for your approvals. In this context, our experts participate in the development of future regulations and are thus well-qualified to advise you about the final validation of the products you ask us to test.

Our services include testing your products in the design and validation stages. Our teams can help you to draft specifications and advise you how to perform the measurements before analysing the results.

In the safety field, we perform testing designed to :

• Optimise airbag and seatbelt restraint systems
• Develop vehicle compatibility test procedures
• Characterisation of driver assistance systems
• Evaluation of head-up display systems

In the environmental field, our role is to :

• Develop EMC immunity and emission monitoring procedures
• Perform competitive engine analysis
• Characterise noise sources and propagation pathways.

Our metrology laboratory is capable of calibrating 90% of test sensors of all sizes :

• Acceleration, speed and displacement
• Strength, mass and pressure
• Temperature and humidity
• Electricity
• Time and frequency

All of our laboratories hold ISO 17025 certification, which guarantees the quality of our services and results.
