ECBC Engineering Tests CB solutions
Edgewood Chemical and Biological Center (ECBC) Engineering has the expertise and infrastructure to test product performance in surety and non-surety environments. Engineering’s unique chemical agent facilities and highly skilled personnel test products against a variety of dangerous and toxic compounds. Engineering conducts non-surety product testing in accordance with MIL-STD and ASTM standards. Representative test environments are created to allow user interface for the purposes of logistics demonstrations, human factor evaluations and proper equipment employment. Engineering offers a full range of test services for non Department of Defense entities under test service agreements (TSA). These TSAs can be used to evaluate commercial and military equipment. Results from the tests are provided to the design team for continuous product improvement.
