Emergency relief items used by humanitarian organisations in disaster-stricken areas (e.g. war, hunger, natural disasters such as drought, floods, earthquakes, landslides) must meet the most rigorous standards in order to save lives.
Centexbel has a long history of running tests according to the requirements defined by international humanitarian organisations, such as the UN refugee Agency (UNHCR), the International Red Cross, Médecins sans Frontières, Save the Children UK, and is therefore your preferred partner to perform tests on the equipment offered by manufacturers in the framework of international tenders.
