We perform chemical laboratory analyses and control of consumer products and related materials. Analyses are adapted to the specific product and can include determination of content of chemical substances, examination of additives and identification of unwanted substances.
Chemical analysis
Chemical analyses of consumer products with documented results
Get chemical analyses of consumer products that clarify the composition of possible problematic substances and provide documentation for product evaluation.
Companies, authorities and consumers need to understand product composition when questions arise about materials, labelling or requirements. Chemical analyses and control determine the content of chemical substances in consumer products. Activities include material identification, substance determination, determination of release of volatile compounds and migration of compounds, impurity identification and compliance with limit values.
Documented results and regulatory clarification
Analytical results are documented in reports that describe the sample, the analyses and the measured content of compounds supported by photo documentation. Documentation is adapted to the intended use and may form part of the basis for market access. Advisory activities include clarifying requirements and discussing findings related to CLP, POP and REACH. Analyses also support identification of unknown substances/materials and the investigation of causes for damage/product flaws.
Challenges
When the content of chemical substances in consumer products is unknown, decisions about choice of product materials and approval of documentation for market access become difficult.
Unknown product composition delays release to market
Unknown composition or lack of knowledge regarding content of possible problematic substances makes it impossible to place product on the market.
Missing analytical documentation
Without analytical results, communication with authorities or customers becomes prolonged and less precise. Lack of documented content of possible problematic substances makes it difficult to provide consistent information, which can extend clarification processes and create additional follow-up work.
Benefits
Get documented analytical results that clarify product composition and support product evaluation
Identify chemical substances present in consumer products
Analytical results provide a structured and documented basis for describing product composition.
Examine unknowns and product issues
Analytical work provides structured input for examining deviations, unexpected findings and material characteristics and/or possible content of problematic substances in products.
Support assessment of labelling and requirements
Analytical results provide documented input for reviewing labelling and substance-related requirements for consumer products.
