WELCOME TO INSTITUTE FOR MATERIALS TESTING
Institute for Materials Testing is the leading Institute in Serbia, dedicated to the research and development of construction and materials.
The Centre for materials
The Centre for materials examines the raw material for the production of building materials, as well as quality control of finished products. Also, the Centre for materials is testifying construction and building elements in terms of sound, heat and fire protection.
Approval testing of products is carried out under the authority of a YUAT.
The Centre for metals and energetics
The main activity of the Centre for metals and energetics is testing metals and mechanical equipment using destructive or non-destructive methods. In addition, experts from the Centre for metals and energetics are involved in the design, as well as providing consulting services.
The Centre for roads and geotechnique
The Centre for structures and prestressing
The main activities of the Centre for structures and prestressing are: architectural and building design, consulting in the field of construction, development and implementation of a system of prestressing, as well as the manufacture, supply and service of equipment for prestressing
Branko Žeželj-member of the Serbian Academy of Arts and Scientists, civil engineer, inventor, university professor.
Branko Žeželj is remembered to be one of the greatest and most active constructors in the world. He was one of the founders and managers of the Institute for Materials Testing and the winner of the highest Serbian and international awards.
His original solutions in the domain of civil engineering are accepted and praised worldwide.
The movie about this great scientist and creator of original IMS prestressing system is on the Institute for Materials Testing Youtube channel
From 6 to 8 July 2026, the Institute for Materials Testing had the pleasure of hosting the Construction Technical School from Zagreb as part of the Erasmus+ project “Education for GREEN Transformation of the COnstruction Sector – GREENCO”, in which the Institute for Materials Testing is one of the project partners.
Dr. Stevan Ćorluka and Marko Đurović are participating in the prestigious International Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ICSMGE 2026) in Vienna.
Proficiency Testing Provider (PIMS) successfully conducted measurements as part of another PT round for environmental noise testing (ambient/outdoor noise), in accordance with (SRPS) ISO 1996-1 and (SRPS) ISO 1996-2 standards
In keeping with tradition, Institute for Materials Testing participated once again this year in the Technical Fair and Technical Achievements Exhibition.
As part of the celebration of a significant jubilee – 25 years of successful work of the Society for the Integrity and Life of Constructions “Prof. Dr. Stojan Sedmak”, on May 8, 2026, a scientific meeting was held hosted by the Institute for Materials Testing.
