This is the summary for the experimental sessions PT1 (Tests of Local Lorentz Invariance), PT2 (Laboratory Gravity Tests) and PT3 (Clocks and Space Tests of Gravity). We present a short review of the experimental status of the tests of Special and General Relativity. This covers tests of the foundations of Special Relativity encoded in the constancy of the speed of light and the indistinguishability of tests performed in laboratories in a different state of inertial motion, as well as the foundations of General Relativity encoded in the Universality if Free Fall, the Universality of the Gravitational Redshift and Local Lorentz Invariance. All these tests are clock comparison experiments and measurements of the trajectory of particles in the gravitational field. We also give a list of tests confirming the predictions of GR as well as experiments and observations looking for deviations from the Einstein field equations. We describe the importance of these tests for fundamental physics as well as for daily life applications and give a short outlook of what kind of improvements may be possible in the future.
