Accredited chemical analysis laboratory for material and environmental testing

The chemical analysis laboratory supports organisations that need documented analysis of materials, substances and environmental samples. This includes situations where materials must be identified, or investigated following damage, failure, breakdown or quality concerns. The facility is used when internal capabilities are insufficient to determine composition, contamination or material properties.

When analysis becomes necessary

The need arises when air, water or material samples require environmental chemical analysis, or when products such as fuels, residuals, toys, jewellery or technical materials must be examined for content and composition. Unresolved uncertainty about substances such as heavy metals or phthalates, or unknown material composition, prohibits access to the market.

What the facility delivers

The laboratory delivers chemical analysis and characterisation across metals, plastics, composites, rubber and food samples. It has radioactivity measurement capabilities through Cs-137 and NORM analyses. It also supports identification of alloys, analysis of fractured surfaces and environmental exposure testing. These activities provide a documented basis for understanding material composition.

Use of the laboratory in examination of environmental samples

The laboratory supports organisations that require analysis results for investigating material properties, identifying unknown substances or documenting environmental conditions. Tests cover air, water and material samples, including emissions, drinking water and wastewater. Results are used to clarify composition and detect substances at trace levels. 

Use of the laboratory for examination of materials and products
The facility enables analysis of metals, alloys, plastics, composites and rubber materials, as well as fuels and residual products. It also supports testing of consumer products such as toys, food contact material and jewellery for harmful substances. Results are used for failure investigation, risk assessments, environmental evaluation and material analysis.
