1. Lodgi’s Laboratory

Lodgi’s Laboratory is running under strict protocols which ensure Lodgi are getting qualified materials and products is qualifying the standard.

2. National Testing Centre of State Forestry Administration of China

Lodgi shares very close relationship with national testing centre to keep on improving our testing level.

Nanjing Wood-Based Panel Testing Center is the key testing and research centre of wood-based products. And NWPT and Lodgi have been working about 4 years to invent Straw flooring and successfully make the product and test result of the product is relative better than the regular wood-based product.

Lodgi is having an annual lecture in NWPT to train the Lodgi Staff and make sure Lodgi’s Laboratory’s testing method is correct and up to date.
