Due to its wide infrastructure and long expertise it is has unique capabilities to to carry out: tests for instrumentation and superconducting magnets in vertical or horizontal test benches, magnetic measurements of all types of accelerator magnets.

In 2016 a new cryostat will be implemented in the vertical test station, called HFM (High Field Magnet) cryostat. It can house large diameter magnets and was designed for the Fresca 2 magnet.
Also in 2016 a fully new test facility, called cluster D, will be operational. It can handle the full lenght MQXF magnets for the HL-LHC and will be equipped with powerconverters that can deliver 30 kA.
