Analytical packages

To facilitate the selection of analyses to be performed on the different types of product and to allow significant cost savings, “Analytical Packages” are available, they are “sets” of preselected analyses, providing sufficient information about the product to determine its condition in relation to the usage and to the possibility of extending its lifespan.
