Unilines test facility will enable tests to be conducted in accordance with the ACR[M] 002 2009 as well as providing a facility for enhanced product development activities.

Our new facility reinforces our commitment to product safety in our industry and allows Uniline to set high standards that provide our customers with great peace of mind. In the current climate when cheap products, often supplied with unsubstantiated claims of compliance are being offered, it is important that customers can still rely on established manufacturers products, backed up with test evidence.
