What Applus+ NRAY does

Applus+ Laboratories, the testing, inspection and certification division of The Applus+ Group, operates globally as an accredited laboratory network delivering structural, materials, non-destructive, fire, EMC/wireless/electrical safety, environmental, calibration, cybersecurity and product-certification services. The unit is differentiated by deep specialization in Common Criteria evaluations up to EAL7 (15+ years), EMVCo-recognized payment testing (10+ years), and full GlobalPlatform membership, with proprietary automation frameworks (CCToolBox and Greenlight) that compress certification timelines. Recognitions and accreditations span ENAC, UKAS, CNAS and COFRAC; NIAP and SOG-IS listings; and recognition by Visa, Mastercard, JCB, AMEX and Discover, positioning the lab as a multi-jurisdictional node for high-assurance cybersecurity and payment certifications.

The business serves enterprise customers across aerospace, automotive, payment systems, government/identity, IT/telecom, medical devices, construction and energy, generating revenue through project-based testing and certification engagements, subscription-based management systems certifications, and recurring calibration services priced via quote. Distribution is direct-to-enterprise, supported by offices in Barcelona (HQ), Shanghai, Beijing, Seoul, and labs in Spain, Canada and the Netherlands, with subsidiaries including Applus+ Rescoll (France), ISCAL (Spain, acquired April 2026), Lightship Security (Canada, acquired 2022), jtsec (Spain, acquired 2022) and Beijing Applus Inspection and Certification Co., Ltd. (China, opened April 2026). The combination of regulatory mandates, multi-year accreditation investments and embedded proprietary tooling forms the core commercial moat.
