What an expert examination bureau does

An expert examination bureau is a specialised organisation that performs independent investigations and prepares professional expert opinions. Its main areas of work include:

1. Forensic examinations. Appointed by courts, investigative bodies or at the request of the parties in criminal, civil and arbitration proceedings.
2. Out-of-court examinations. Commissioned by businesses and private clients, for example to verify the quality of goods, materials or services.
3. Chemical and materials analysis. Study of the composition, properties and quality of substances, coatings, products and industrial materials.
4. Environmental studies. Analysis of water, air, soil and industrial emissions to assess contamination and environmental impact.
5. Technology support. Expert assistance in the development and optimisation of production technologies.

How an expert bureau operates

The work follows a clear, structured process:

• The client approaches the bureau with a task: a court case, a disputed situation or the need to verify materials or products.
• Specialists clarify the object of study, the objectives and the legal context (forensic or out-of-court examination, quality investigation, etc.).
• A comprehensive analysis is carried out in the laboratory using modern instruments and validated methods.
• The results are documented in an expert opinion or technical report. For court cases, this document has full legal force.
• The client receives an official document that can be used in court or arbitration, or for the company’s internal decision-making.

An expert examination bureau is an independent expert centre that brings together science, technology and practical experience to solve legal, industrial and research tasks.
