Extensive testing
JOIST-IK® being put through the EN204 testing at MiTek UK’s laboratory where it was tested in various different conditions, including an underwater boiling test. JOIST-IK® was also tested with many different wood-based materials including beech.
Over and above the standard EN204 testing MiTek’s Head of Engineering Julian Malcroft created a very detailed and comprehensive testing plan to investigate the performance of JOIST-IK® under the often unfavorable conditions found on construction sites, to really put JOIST-IK® to the test. JOIST-IK® excelled in all areas. Tests were carried out at Nottingham Trent University, where over 20 very detailed tests were carried out under the close watch of our Head Chemist and Head of Engineering.
