Editor's Notes

• #2: Hi. My name is Michel Comtois. I am the president and founder of Micom laboratories which I started 15 years ago, almost 16 years now. Thanks for having me here today to talk to you about the services we offer and also to talk about what are your needs. Transition If you were to ask me, in a few words, what Micom does The reason I say this is that we are customer driven company ; if we get tests requests we can’t do today but we feel this is something we could offer; we will definitively look into it.
• #3: , I would answer that the essence of what we do is to simulate real life in the lab under controlled yet accelerated conditions. To do so we have all sorts of equipment that can simulate the sun, vibrations, impacts, loads, heat, cold, fatigue testing, corrosion and many other tests. We do this for different products and materials for a wide range of industries and we would like to do this for PWC as well. Transition: More specifically; MORE SPECIFICALLY…
• #4: More specifically, we are a third party lab. All we do is testing; we do not sell goods, products or equipment. We are in Dorval, right next to the airport. Micom has been in business for 15 years and we are 15 employees working in a 15 000 sq feet test facility. We are ISO 17025 accredited by the Standards Council of Canada. ISO 17025 is the equivalent of ISO 9001 but it is specific to test laboratories. Finally we also carry numerous accreditations/recognitions by all sorts of bodies and organizations including Transport Canada and Health Canada. Transition: It is hard to give a detailed list of tests services we offer;
• #5: It is hard to give a detailed list of tests services we offer; there are too many that we can potentially do. 3 years ago you would have asked us « do you have expefrience in testing fuel tanks for large wehicles? A fair answer would have been « NO ». However, our answer was: what are you trying to achieve? Parler histoire de la tank… Furthermore there are many tests we can do that we just don’t know about; there are so many standards. However, we maintain a very comprehensive website that contains lots of information about our services (you have the URL on the screen). We also created a short corporate video that highlights some of the services we offer. Lets take a minute to look at it
• #7: So quickly to sum this up; here’s a list of some of services that could be of interest to you. Actually, I did some testing for PWC in my previous life: what I did is not something you would find on our website nor anywhere else on Google. PWC had some corrosion problems with their black boxes. They are located in an area of the aircraft that is not pressurized so as the aircrafts vary their altitude the boxes were « breathing in and out » with the ambiant atmosphere which contained some moisture which was causing some corrosion problems. A PWC engineer wanted to attach an hygroscopic molecular sieve to the black boxes so that they would breathe in and out through the sieve instead of breathing through the seams hence preventing the moisture to get in the black boxes. PWC came to us and asked us to design a test that would validate the sieve’s efficiency which we did.
