 |  | | | Dear Reader,
In today's newsletter will take a look back on 2017, and take a moment to offer a small outlook on the coming year, 2018.
At the same time, we would like to thank you for the good cooperation and the trust placed in us.
During this time of faith and family, may the true meaning of Christmas fill you with joy.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year.

| | | |  | | | | |  | | In the early summer of 2017, the amtec test laboratory
was successfully re-accredited for the performance of mechanical/physical tests on flange connections, valves
and sealing materials.
The Deutsche Akkreditierungsstelle GmbH (DAkkS) confirmed the competence according to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025. In 2017, different test standards such as the fire resistance test were included in the scope of accreditation, as the list of all test procedures in the flexible accreditation area shows.
