Course detail

Testing

FSI-XZK-KAcad. year: 2017/2018

The subject Testing will acquaint the students with EU regulations and the legal systém of Czech Republic in the area of conformity assessment of specified products. Students will also comprehend the role of state technical inspection of safety of dedicated technical devices. Students will also be familiarized with systemic and practical rules of work in testing and calibration laboratories in a way, that can be practically applied.
