Can we model ASTM and ISO methods with per-spec limits?

Yes. Each test definition carries its method reference, units, and limits, and limits can differ per specification or project — so the same tensile test judges correctly against different acceptance criteria.

Does Aliquora track equipment calibration?

Yes. Equipment records carry calibration and maintenance events with due dates, and upcoming or overdue calibrations are surfaced before they become an assessment finding.

Can clients get a portal instead of email chains?

Yes. The customer portal lets clients submit requests and retrieve their certificates and results directly, scoped to their own work only.

We test to client-specific specs. Can limits vary by client or project?

Limits are configured per test definition and can be scoped per project, so client-specific or program-specific acceptance criteria live alongside the standard ones without collisions.

Materials & Mechanical Testing Labs

Construction materials, metals, and mechanical testing labs live on ASTM and ISO methods, specimen IDs, and certificates their clients' auditors will read line by line. Aliquora tracks every specimen from receipt to certificate with the method, spec limits, and review history attached.

What Aliquora handles for Materials Testing

Specimen login with material type, lot/heat, and client PO context
Test catalog built on your ASTM/ISO method references
Automatic pass/fail against per-spec acceptance limits
Equipment records with calibration due-date tracking
Certificates generated from verified results with full traceability

How it works

A typical materials testing workflow in Aliquora

1

Log specimens with their commercial context

Register specimens with material type, lot or heat number, client, project, and PO — the identifiers your client's quality department will quote back at you. Group them by job so a whole submittal reviews together.
2

Assign methods from your catalog

Your test catalog carries the method references (ASTM, ISO, AASHTO — whatever your scope lists), units, and acceptance limits per specification. Assigning a test to a specimen carries all of it along.
3

Enter results against the right limits

Results are judged against the acceptance limits for the specification on that job — not a global default — so a bar that passes one spec and fails another is flagged correctly in each context.
4

Review, verify, and lock

A second qualified reviewer verifies before release; verified results lock, and any amendment afterward is audited. Your ISO 17025 assessor's data-integrity questions have one answer: the record.
5

Issue the certificate

Certificates of test results are generated from verified data with method references, limits, and pass/fail on the page — and the per-action audit trail behind every number if anyone asks.

Materials labs typically hold ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation (A2LA and similar bodies) and answer to client and DOT quality programs. Aliquora supports the accreditation story where a LIMS can: controlled test definitions with method references, calibration due-date tracking on equipment, two-step result verification, and an audit trail for every entry, edit, and approval.
