ABOUT

ENVIRONMENTAL TESTING

Capital Testing offers two large-scale environmental chambers capable of testing products in challenging or even extreme temperature and humidity conditions. From hardwood plywood panels, to kitchen cabinets, to wood flooring, environmental chamber testing is employed by manufacturers to demonstrate their commitment to quality and performance in a range of simulated environments. This testing – especially when paired with one of our ISO/IEC 17065-accredited certification programs – provides customers with the confidence they need to make decisions at the store and online.
