Equipment Testing

SVS Countermeasures provides testing certification on X-ray and Walk Through Metal Detector systems. Our lab at our facility in Western NC has all of the required tools and test objects to provide you with a certified 3rd party testing certification. The tests require that you send your system to our testing facility for the test to be conducted. We can also travel to you, if that is more convenient.  All testing is done based on the standard that is used for that test object or a Military/Industry standard.  Please contact us for more detailed information about each test.
