Facilities
TESTING FACILITIES AVAILABLE FOR ENSURING THE BEST QUALITY AND
SAFETY OF DETONATORS
The quality ensuring tests are carried out at three stages:
1. Input raw materials for processing the detonators
2. In Process Tests during the manufacture of detonators
3. Testing procedures on the finished product - detonators
