Another test we offer is the auto-charger arm test.

Charging of a loaded coffin is simulated using a charging arm and a force applied similar to that used by crematoria. At the end of the test the coffin is inspected for any damage or deformation, which would be recorded as a failure.

One of our standard tests we carry out is the Ball Bearing Bed Functionality Test

A loaded coffin is placed on a standard crematorium ball bearing bed for 12 hours. The coffin is then moved and checked for snagging or directional instability, which would be classed as a failure.

One of the tests we carry out on every coffin tested is the Strength Test.

The coffin is placed on trestles and loaded with weights for 24 hours, after which time any vertical movement or sag is measured. If the movement is within specified parameters the test is passed.

The Coffin Casket and Shroud Association or CCSA has three main objectives firstly we want to set a standard for all coffins, caskets and shrouds sold in the UK, in particular those used for cremation. And to publicise those companies which have met this standard.
