!!!Bundesversuchsanstalten

Federal Research Institutes (Bundesversuchsanstalten): the first 
Federal Research Institute for paper testing was founded by W. Exner 
in 1866. The Technological Grammar School (Technologisches 
Gewerbemuseum), founded in 1879 by Exner, has become one of the most 
important testing centres, comprising as many as 10 research 
institutes in 1995. Whereas the Academy of Forestry of Mariabrunn, 
founded in 1866, was integrated into the University of Agricultural 
Sciences in 1875, the Federal Research Institute of Forestry in 
Hadersdorf-Weidlingau remained an independent institute. Since 1950, a 
number of Federal Research Institutes have been part of the  Arsenal. 
The Arsenal Federal Research and Testing Centre comprises an Institute 
of Electrical Engineering, an Institute of Geotechnology, and an 
Institute of Mechanical Engineering. Other Federal Research Institutes 
are integrated into higher education establishments and into the 
Technischer Ueberwachungsverein (Engineering Control Association) in 
Vienna, an institution responsible for testing the safety of technical 
installations and vehicles.
