The A.L. FILTER laboratory is fully equipped to undertake all the required tests of the automotive industry and of the International Union of Standards Institutes. The laboratory provides its customers with test facilities for original filters, competitive filters and comparative testing between its own filters and those of other manufactures.

A.L. FILTER laboratory is equipped with state of the art testing facilities, and can offer solutions to answer all of the requirements of the global fuel and air filtration markets. In addition, the laboratory is operated on a daily basis for the continual testing of filters from the company's production line.

Our customers consider our tests conducted in our laboratory as their own, in-house laboratory reports, and after becoming a certified supplier to many major manufacturers, many of our customers rely solely upon our expertise and forgo the additional time and expense of performing these tests in their own laboratories.

As part of our Quality Assurance requirements, a considerable battery of tests are preformed, for both Durability and Functional requirements, as follows:
  • Salt Spray tests
  • Pressure Impulse tests
  • Burst pressure tests
  • Resistance tests
  • Dimensional conformity
  • Dust Capacity tests
  • Internal Leakage tests (Bubble Tests)
  • External Leakage tests
  • Efficiency tests
  • and many more...

We use several international standard test methods and procedures, and manufacturer specifications to perform our tests:
  • Manufacturer specifications
  • SAE J905
  • Japanese Standard - JIS 1617
  • D.O.D. purchasing requirements
  • ISO 4020/1
  • A.L. procedures

Our laboratory has been a major factor in creating the confidence in A.L. FILTER's products on a global basis, and could be of assistance to your company, too.
