neutral chica nueva : 建筑材料工业 = in the Building Materials Industry. I doubt it's a national centre, maybe more like an inspection and testing centre of a national (supervisory) agency?

National

This is just my guess, but in my native language, this word means National. We use the same kanji.

Joyce, this is just my wildest (since I don't understand Chinese)guess, but it has something to do with national test center overseeing building materials, radioactivity and poisonous materials. I don't think I can give you an exact name for this agency.
Why don't you try googling? I had 5240 hits, and opened one of them, but everything is in Chinese! No English version.
Note from asker:
Thank you, Yasutomo! I think I caused confusion here, it is not that small term I have been looking for, can you help with the name of the organization, please!
Hi, Yasutomo, yes, I'll try to google some more. I tried to put "Nationa", "Building Materials" in, but I couldn't get the right one. Thanks again!!!

National Supervision and Testing Center for Radioactive and Hazardous Substances Used in Building Material Industry

Just for your reference.

'passed the inspection of the Test Center of the National Building Materials, the Inspection Center of the National Concrete and Cement product Quality, the Supervision and Inspection Center of the National Fire-Proof Building Material Quality; the Test Center of the National Supervision and Inspection for Building Material Industrial Radioactivity and Harmful Substances. '

-> Test Centre of the National Supervision and Inspection [Agency] for Radioactivity and Harmful Substances in the Building Materials Industry

-> there may be more than one test centre? ie not only one national test centre?

国家建筑材料工业放射性及有害物质监督检验【机关】测试中心
国家建筑材料工业放射性及有害物质监督【机关】检验测试中心

-> surely it should be 'Inspection and Testing Centre of the National Supervision Agency for Radioactivity and Harmful Substances in the Building Materials Industry'?
