The experimental stand base which is equipped with the required home-produced and foreign equipment was established at OAO RSC Energia. The base provides both the development and certification tests of POP modules and units developed and produced by the Corporation that assures the long-duration operation of prostheses in actual conditions.

For certification tests of produced in-series modules and units of prosthetic and orthopedic products (POP) for compliance with the Russian and International standards the test laboratory for prosthetic and orthopedic products was established at OAO RSC Energia. It is accredited in R GOST system.

For performance verification in actual conditions POP modules and units within prostheses are subjected to operational tests.
