According to the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development’s "Measures for the Administration of Construction Engineering Quality Testing" (Order No. 57), "Building Materials and Components" is one of the nine core testing specialties for engineering quality. This specialty focuses on the testing of all incoming materials and products, including cement, steel, concrete, wall materials, waterproofing materials, and prefabricated components, based on national mandatory standards. Key indicators tested include physical and mechanical properties, chemical composition, safety, environmental protection, and durability. It serves as the first line of defense for ensuring structural safety and functionality. As a national-level authoritative third-party institution, CTC possesses top-tier qualifications and standard-setting capabilities fully covering this specialized area. We provide full-chain services, from material acceptance testing and component performance evaluation to green certification, offering core technical support for engineering quality, safety, and green, low-carbon development through scientific and precise test data.
