About us
The French Corrosion Institute, European leader backed by the RISE group, supports you in mastering corrosion through its specialised laboratories — atmospheric, soil, seawater, ATEX, hydrogen, ammonia, H₂S — its natural exposure test sites and the expertise of its engineers, from failure analysis to the design of sustainable solutions.
Expertise & Consulting
We support industrial companies in materials selection and the definition of anti-corrosion protection strategies. Our experts step in for failure analysis and the auditing of your infrastructure.
R&D and Innovation
A major player in European research, we lead collaborative projects (JIPs) and develop new testing protocols to anticipate tomorrow’s challenges, particularly for low-carbon energies.
