Polish Center of Accreditation
The laboratory is accredited by
within
the range of testing the physical & mechanical and usage properties of textile goods.
Accreditation No. AB 154 Notification No. 1475 directive 89/686/EEC – Personal Protection
Equipment as well as accreditation by
Minister of Defense.
The laboratory provides testing services to satisfy the needs related with scientific and
research activity of MORATEX Institute, for products certification and for customers. The
services are concerning:
• flat textile products (fabrics, knits, non-wovens)
• products coated with rubber or plastics
• rope goods
• fibrous composites
• plastics for personal protection goods making-up
• technical making-up
• personal protection means

Most of them are standardized by European and ISO standards.
Ballistic Laboratory
Laboratory accredited by Polish Center of Accreditation within
the scope of ballistic and impact resistance. Accreditation No. AB 155 by PCA
and Minster of Defense.
The testing scope covered by the PCA accreditation has been divided into
2 groups:
• ballistic tests;
• impact resistance tests.
For both groups, the testing objects are i.a.: bullet-, knife- and needle-proof vests,
helmets, ballistic packets flat samples, impact resistant body protectors.
It is the one and only lab in Poland with the workplace ready for
determining shock absorbing capabilities of body protectors.
The laboratory also has at its disposal the equipment that allows for execution of
the tests of fast-changing physical magnitudes.
The laboratory periodically extends the scope of accreditation according to the
customers' demand.
Products Certification Department – Notified Body
The Products Certification Department of the „MORATEX” Institute works since
2000, on a basis of the Law of Conformity Assessment.
The scope of Department activity used to cover a freewill certification of textile
goods in common usage and work clothing, protective clothing and
protective equipment.
The Department has initiated and maintains the quality system compliant to
the requirements of PN-EN 45011 Standard „General requirements for the
product certifying bodies”, which ensures professionalism at certification
processes.
For now, the priority for the Department is conformity assessment of products
dedicated for state security among the organizational units being

GENERAL CONTEXT OF THE GOOD
PRACTICES IMPLEMENTATION
The GP implemented at MORATEX are connected to the specific adoption of the project management
practices based on the PRINCE 2 methodology. The project management processes were adopted for
the specific characters of the research and developmental projects
realising by the MORATEX, especially in aspect of the END-USERS needs (end-users of the security area:
Police, Border Guards, State Fire Service, Government Protections
