An accredited Slovak testing laboratory from Tlmače that determines the technical cleanliness of metallic and non-metallic components to VDA 19.1 / ISO 16232 and customer specifications, mainly for suppliers to the automotive industry.
InterTriboDia, s.r.o. is a Slovak company from Tlmače that operates an accredited technical cleanliness testing laboratory. Its main focus is determining the technical cleanliness of components and consulting in this field.
It carries out tests to the VDA 19.1 / ISO 16232 standards as well as to customer specifications, mainly for suppliers to the automotive industry. The laboratory is accredited by the Slovak National Accreditation Service to ISO/IEC 17025, and the company has a quality management system certified to ISO 9001.
These facts have been verified by Intedat on the basis of publicly available sources and serve as a structured overview of basic information about the company.
This profile is not the official corporate website of InterTriboDia, s.r.o. It is a public editorial profile prepared by Intedat to complement the company’s digital footprint and explain its focus more clearly.
The Intedat editorial summary complements publicly verifiable facts with additional business and industry context.
InterTriboDia, s.r.o. is a small, specialised Slovak laboratory from Tlmače in the Levice district. Unlike general testing facilities, it focuses on a single narrow discipline, the technical cleanliness of components, that is, determining how many and which particles and contaminant residues remain on parts after manufacturing and washing.
This field is particularly important in the automotive industry, where even tiny particles can cause failures in hydraulics, fuel or brake systems or electronics. Customers therefore often require suppliers to prove the cleanliness of their parts to VDA 19.1 or ISO 16232, or to their own specification, and an accredited report from an independent laboratory is the standard evidence for this.
From a business perspective, the key point is that the company combines accredited testing to ISO/IEC 17025 with consulting. A manufacturer therefore does not need to build its own laboratory: it can have parts tested externally and at the same time get advice on how to build cleanliness requirements into production. For more demanding cases, such as elemental particle analysis, the laboratory says it arranges supplementary analyses through accredited partner laboratories in the EU.
Its location in western Slovakia is an advantage for automotive and engineering suppliers in the region who need an accessible laboratory in the same country and language.
A structured overview of the tests and services that InterTriboDia, s.r.o. publicly presents on its website.
Accredited tests to determine the technical cleanliness of metallic and non-metallic components to the VDA 19.1 / ISO 16232 standards and to various customer specifications. The company offers them mainly to suppliers to the automotive industry, where the cleanliness of supplied parts is checked for reasons of trouble-free operation and safety.
Microscopic determination of particles in various size classes from 5 µm to 18,000 µm, distinguishing between metallic shiny particles, non-metallic particles and fibres. In photos from the laboratory the company shows a workstation with a Leica microscope.
Gravimetric, that is, weight-based particle determination, which establishes the mass of contaminants captured from a component.
Determination of residual organic substances on components, that is, residues of greasy substances or process media left on the parts after production.
The laboratory releases contaminants from components using several extraction methods: pressure rinsing, ultrasound, flushing, shaking, air jet cleaning, air blow-through and dissolving. Its website also shows a photo of the PALL PCCM extraction unit.
The company arranges supplementary technical cleanliness analyses, such as SEM/EDX, IR spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy, in cooperation with accredited laboratories in the EU.
Alongside testing, the company provides advice and consulting on the technical cleanliness of components, which fall within the scope of its certified quality management system.
