Apadana Laboratory – Introduction

The Ravan Trans Apadana Laboratory, as one of the key divisions of this company, was established to ensure quality, enhance product standards, and increase the reliability of production processes. Equipped with modern instruments and specialized personnel, this laboratory provides comprehensive services in quality control as well as physical and mechanical testing to verify final products.

This facility conducts a variety of tests including hardness testing, tensile strength, tooth shear resistance, thread-to-rubber adhesion, fabric-to-rubber adhesion, elongation percentage calculation, dimensional profiling, thermal and chemical resistance, and more, to ensure that manufactured products meet customer requirements and international standards.

By implementing a quality management system and obtaining the ISO/IEC 17025:2017 international certification, the laboratory has been able to guarantee the reliability, accuracy, and validity of its test results.

The laboratory's primary mission is to directly support production, optimize processes, develop new products, and collaborate closely with customers to provide quality and technical solutions.

This facility continually strives to leverage modern methods and continuously improve laboratory systems to enhance product quality and customer satisfaction.

 

Laboratory Policy

Apadana Laboratory has designed its quality management system based on the ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standard and operates as a reference for conducting tests related to the requirements of domestic and international customers. These activities cover automotive, industrial, and agricultural belts, as well as belt tensioner and idler assemblies, including physical and mechanical property analysis tests using international and national standard methods such as ISO, ISIRI, INSO, JASO, KES, and more.

This laboratory prioritizes the following principles in its operations:

  • Enhancing the quality of services by meeting national and international requirements and standards
  • Increasing customer satisfaction through continuous improvement of laboratory services
  • Advancing the scientific level of personnel through effective, planned, and continuous training

The laboratory's senior manager is committed to delivering high-quality laboratory services and refrains from any activity that might compromise the laboratory's independence and impartiality, regardless of financial or commercial pressure. He continuously strives to ensure high-quality testing, expand the laboratory's scope by providing necessary resources, improve services, achieve standard objectives, and provide effective and continuous training to laboratory staff.

 

The Importance of ISO/IEC 17025

The international ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standard is recognized as the primary reference for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories worldwide. Implementing this standard at Ravan Trans Apadana Laboratory provides the following key benefits:

  • International credibility of test results: Test and calibration results from the laboratory, based on this standard, are accepted nationally and internationally.
  • Assurance of measurement accuracy and precision: The standard sets strict requirements for equipment calibration, environmental control, and testing methods, increasing the reliability of results.
  • Process improvement and risk reduction: ISO/IEC 17025:2017 ensures all laboratory activities are systematic and documented, minimizing errors or repeated tests.
  • Meeting customer and automotive industry requirements: Many industrial customers, especially automakers, only recognize test results from ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratories. Therefore, this standard is a key requirement for participating in the global supply chain.
  • Support for research and development (R&D): Proper implementation of this standard provides a reliable foundation for developing new products and optimizing materials and processes.
    Consequently, establishing and maintaining a quality management system based on ISO/IEC 17025:2017 not only guarantees the credibility of laboratory results but also serves as a strategic competitive factor for the company in the market.
