Microstructural test results go online
Ceram is now able to add remote Internet viewing to the list of benefits and services it can offer to customers of its microstructural section.
Professor Geoff Edgell, who will be giving the seminar, believes that it is certainly an area of which UK legal professionals need to be more aware.
He comments: "Something seemingly innocent, such as a slight alteration in cement composition, a change in tyre design or a minor surface defect on a shampoo bottle, can be guilty of causing major problems, sometimes even complete product failure".
"When you then consider that these product failures could in turn lead to building collapse, car accidents or hair loss, it becomes clear why materials analysis and testing is so important to legal professionals".
Unlike any other independent testing organisation in the UK however, Ceram boasts a team of scientists specifically trained to deliver findings in a legal context.
Prof Edgell continues: "Knowing the facts and being able to present them in a court of law are two very different things".
"This is why the experts at Ceram are professionally trained to convey their findings within a legal framework, for maximum effect and relevance".
"This really is a unique resource available to UK legal professionals".
Ceram boasts a worldwide reputation for its testing and analysis facilities.
The organisation provides analytical support to some of the world's leading companies and has experience ranging across a broad spectrum of sectors including engineering, pharmaceutical, medical, building and construction, ceramics, and automotive to name but a few.
