Certification, Research and Development

The Berry & Hayward laboratory is based in Horncastle and is able to carry out physical testing of our products such as leak tightness and stiffness testing. This laboratory is independent of Polypipe Civils and is UKAS (United Kingdom Accreditation Service) accredited. Tests include:

Leak Tightness
  • BS EN 1277
Stiffness

  • BS EN 50086-2-4
  • BS 4962
Creep Ratio

Having a close relationship with the laboratory allows us to ensure our products performance is to the highest possible standards and our products can be tested to their limits. Polypipe Civils is able to undertake virtually all product testing and development processes at the UKAS laboratory, thus saving money and shortening the time in which a new product can be launched.
