Hi Teo, This must be very very British because I've never heard this usage. It seems to me that if #1 is correct then the others would follow. We seem to be saying, Since it is a simple test , rather than If it is a simple test , or Assuming it is a simple test, or Given that it is a simple test .

- The that should be optional.
- I see no reason why the present participle shouldn't work as well as the past participle.

I wouldn't use 3 and 4, and I would translate/read:
1. Granted that [Assuming/Presuming/Accepting that] it is a simple test to perform, it should be easy to get results quickly.
2. Granted [I/we agree], it is a simple test to perform, so/thus it should be easy to get results quickly.
