Analytical Testing & Methods

Our laboratories quantify composition and screen for restricted substances using recognized standards and validated methods. We deliver traceable, reproducible data suitable for quality control, certification, and dispute resolution.

• Azo colourants (aromatic amines), disperse dyes, and allergenic dyes screening
• Formaldehyde, phthalates, PFAS, phenols, heavy metals (total and extractable)
• Surfactant profiling (anionic/nonionic/cationic/amphoteric), active matter, and impurities
• FTIR, GC‑MS, LC‑MS/MS, HPLC‑UV, ICP‑MS/OES for identity and trace analysis
• Physico‑chemical properties: pH, viscosity, density, stability, flash point (where applicable)
• Color metrics and fastness: wash, rub/crock, perspiration, light—per ISO/AATCC methods
• Method validation with uncertainty statements for defensibility

Performance & Safety

We test what customers experience and regulators require—linking lab results to real‑world performance and safety.

• Detergency and stain removal on standardized fabrics and soils
• Foaming, wetting, and residue performance across water hardness ranges
• Microbiological quality (TPC, yeast/mould) and preservative challenge tests
• Skin/contact substrate interaction studies (fabrics, hair, skin simulants, hard surfaces)
• Packaging/product interaction and leachables/extractables (as applicable)

Chemical Management & Compliance

We design practical programs that keep supply chains compliant and products market‑ready.

• RSL/MRSL creation, supplier onboarding, and training
• Conformance assessment against OEKO‑TEX®, ZDHC MRSL, and brand standards
• SDS authoring, CLP/GHS classification, and label review
• Regulatory submissions and surveillance: REACH, CPSIA, EN 71, Prop 65

Cargo Inspection (Inputs & Intermediates)

Independent inspectors safeguard value across distribution routes. We verify quality, purity, and quantity at custody transfer and provide reconciliation and event reporting for dyestuffs, pigment dispersions, surfactants, and intermediates.

• Sampling, sealing, and strict chain‑of‑custody documentation
• Specification checks and contamination screening
• Quantity verification and independent reconciliation at loading and discharge
