   The Research Center is responsible for the management of following organizations: Far East Fire Testing Center, Far East Lubricating Oil Testing Center and Wuhan Life-saving Appliances Testing Center.


Far East Fire Testing Center is a fireproof material and structure testing body certified by National Technology Supervision Administration and recommended by IMO to its member states. It has sets of fire testing equipment imported from abroad or developed by itself. Since 1990, it has, in compliance with existing national and international standards (ISO, IMO), carried out nearly one thousand fire tests of fireproof materials and structures intended to be used in ships, offshore installations and buildings on land for notarial inspection and technical research for customers from mainland China, Hongkong, Taiwan as well as Singapore, Thailand, South Korea, etc., and yielded remarkable social benefit.

Far East Lubricating Oil Testing Center is equipped with advanced and sufficient appliances and installations and has mastered mature means of applying lube oil analysis technique into monitoring equipment condition. It has developed nearly one hundred criteria/threshold values and monitors about one hundred ships (propeller shaft condition) at maximum. This research has been started since long and lies at a leading level.

Wuhan Life-saving Appliances Testing Center has got measure certification qualification certificate by National Certification Approval Supervision Management Committee, with advanced temperature-control, moisture-control and other survey equipment to satisfy the need of testing two kinds products of lifebuoy and life jacket of marine life-saving appliances on 39 items such as physical item, chemical item, temperature and performance, and finished examination of survey, sample check and issue of production permission certificate for marine life-saving appliances.
