On January 16–17, 2025, we visited two renowned European laboratories — ift Rosenheim (Germany) and Holzforschung Austria (Austria).
- ift Rosenheim is a large-scale research institution equipped with a wide range of testing systems for windows, doors, insulating glass units, and façade systems. The laboratory operates under European regulations and exemplifies an integrated approach to structural quality assessment.
- Holzforschung Austria is a leader in wood and timber structure research. The laboratory applies advanced methodologies for assessing wood durability, with a strong focus on environmental considerations.
This visit served as both a source of inspiration and a clear benchmark for the development of Ukrainian laboratories toward European integration and the implementation of best practices.
