Remarks The "Physical and mechanical tests - Expanded Polyurethane - Foam" PT Scheme began in 2012 (14 years ago), with the participation of primarily accredited laboratories from several countries. Throughout the scheme's development, it has contributed to identify areas for improvement for the testing laboratories, thereby strengthening their competence and serving as a support tool for monitoring the maintenance of that competence. The industry associated with the sector also benefits from the verification of the continued reliability of the company's laboratory results. In addition, it is a support tool for accredited laboratories to maintain their accreditation.
