The Materials Testing Institute for Construction (Materialprüfanstalt für Bauwesen Wiesbaden, MPA Wiesbaden for short) is a "commercial enterprise" of the RheinMain University of Applied Sciences. As a service provider for companies, authorities and private individuals, the MPA Wiesbaden is active in the testing, monitoring and certification of solid and timber construction materials.
The MPA has a high-performance IT system and, above all, a laboratory environment of over 1000 m2 with state-of-the-art equipment and testing machines at its disposal. The MPA Wiesbaden is the only MPA located at a university of applied sciences in Germany that is organised as a regular member of the Association of Materials Testing Institutes together with the MPAs, most of which are at universities.
