Proof House Testing, Ammunition Homologation & Legal Laser Marking (ČÚZZS)
1. Statutory Laser Marking for Firearms & Essential Parts
Current legislation (EU Firearms Directive and national law) mandates distinct, indelible, and tamper-resistant marking on every firearm and each of its essential components (frame, receiver, barrel, cylinder, slide/breech block).
- Statutory Compliance: We perform industrial fiber-laser marking meeting all prescribed standards—including minimum depth requirements (0.08 mm), standardized font dimensions, and high resistance to wear or defacement.
- Mandatory Data: Laser engraving of serial numbers, manufacturer/importer identification, model designation, caliber, and country code/origin marks.
- Surface-Safe Technology: Ultra-precise, clean, and sharp fiber laser engraving that preserves finish integrity without heat distortion or material stress.
- Registry Ready (CRZ): Formatted to match records in the Central Firearms Register (CRZ) and police requirements for seamless registration.
2. Proof-House Testing & Proof Marks (Tormentace)
Official proof testing (high-pressure proof-round testing) is a mandatory prerequisite for safely firing, possessing, and commercially transferring firearms in C.I.P. member states.
- Imported Firearms: Individual proofing for firearms imported from non-C.I.P. countries (e.g., USA).
- Modified & Repaired Firearms: Re-proof testing following barrel replacements, caliber conversions, or major work on pressure-bearing components.
- Historic & Used Firearms: Supplementary safety testing and inspection of barrels and lockups.
- Turnkey Process: We inspect the firearm, prepare it for testing, handle delivery to the ČÚZZS proof house, and return it with official proof marks and inspection certificates.
3. Ammunition Homologation & Type Approval
Introducing a new production lot, importing ammunition from abroad, or developing proprietary loads for commercial distribution? We guide you through the full homologation procedure:
- Documentation & Test Samples: Assistance compiling technical drawings, component specifications, and sample sets according to C.I.P. standards.
- Ballistic Measurements: Facilitation of laboratory testing for chamber pressures, muzzle velocities, and consistency.
- Conformity Assessment: Securing type-approval certification required for legal retail and distribution across the EU.
- Packaging & Labeling Review: Consulting on consumer packaging, barcodes, warnings, and mandatory regulatory labeling.
