Thermal diagnostics, Ecodesign energy labelling, EN 378 leak & pressure tests and optimisation studies in climatic chambers down to -50°C.
AB 308
ILAC MRACOCH Kraków specialises in comprehensive low-temperature testing in modern cold and climatic chambers — from standard performance checks to advanced optimisation studies, aligned with client specifications and key industry standards including EN 378.
Tests focus on detailed analysis of thermal characteristics, cooling capacity and power consumption. We also perform the complete range of testing necessary for product energy labelling, which manufacturers need to meet European regulatory requirements. Certified climatic chambers allow simulation of climatic zones and extreme environmental conditions.
Operating parameters and temperature resistance of deep-freeze installations and cabinets are assessed with reference to EN 378. Leak and pressure strength tests of refrigeration circuits follow PN-EN 378-2 / PN-EN 14276.
Work is covered by PCA AB 308 accreditation with ILAC MRA recognition — reports are accepted across the ILAC zone without repeat testing abroad.

Full suite of analyses in cold and climatic chambers — performance, labelling, EN 378 integrity, mapping and safety.
We carry out standard tests and advanced optimisation research according to individual client requirements and industry standards. Comprehensive low-temperature testing gives a clear view of system performance and practical steps to improve energy ratings.

High-precision measurements of performance and heat loads across the full operating cycle in controlled climatic chambers.
