Qualification of seismic research testing facilities in Europe

The work presented herein was presented at the Concluding Workshop of the European funded Project (SERIES) jointly organized with US-NEES on "Earthquake Engineering Research Infrastructures" in Ispra held on May 28-30, 2013. The paper is intended for use by Research Testing Facilities, Certification and Accreditation Bodies, and Standardization Institutions as a reference document about the qualification of large research facilities acting in the field of the seismic engineering. The paper illustrates the demand of qualification for the large research testing facilities in Europe and how the EC funded SERIES Project responded by producing a Common Protocol for the qualification.
