ISO 17353 Chemical Safety Testing of Surfactants

The ISO 17353 standard is a critical tool in the chemical testing sector, particularly relevant to surfactant safety. This service ensures that surfactants used in industrial applications meet stringent safety and quality criteria, which are essential for compliance with international standards.

Surfactants play pivotal roles in various industries due to their unique properties such as solubilization, emulsification, and foaming. However, the use of these chemicals can pose risks if not properly managed, especially in industrial settings where large volumes may be handled or stored. Therefore, rigorous safety testing is indispensable.

The ISO 17353 standard provides a comprehensive framework for evaluating surfactant safety through various tests that assess physical and chemical properties, toxicological effects, and environmental impact. By adhering to this standard, organizations can ensure they are meeting regulatory requirements while also protecting worker health and the environment.

Our service uses advanced laboratory techniques and equipment designed specifically for industrial chemical analysis. We employ experienced chemists who interpret results in conjunction with international standards like ISO 17353. This ensures that our clients receive accurate, reliable data they can trust when making informed decisions about their surfactant usage.

One of the key aspects of our ISO 17353 service is ensuring thorough specimen preparation before testing begins. Samples are carefully selected and prepared according to strict protocols laid out in the standard. This step ensures that subsequent tests yield accurate, repeatable results—a critical factor for any comprehensive chemical safety evaluation.

The process typically involves multiple stages including initial screening tests followed by more detailed assessments based on identified hazards. Our team utilizes state-of-the-art analytical instruments such as HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography), GC-MS (Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry), and FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared) spectroscopy to conduct these analyses.

Results from our ISO 17353 testing are detailed in comprehensive reports that outline all findings, including any identified hazards or areas of concern. These documents serve as valuable resources for quality managers, compliance officers, R&D engineers, and procurement teams responsible for ensuring safe surfactant use within their organizations.

By partnering with us for ISO 17353 chemical safety testing of surfactants, companies demonstrate their commitment to maintaining high standards of industrial hygiene and environmental responsibility. This not only enhances operational efficiency but also fosters trust among stakeholders who rely on the integrity of products containing these essential chemicals.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of ISO 17353 chemical safety testing?
The primary goal of this test is to evaluate surfactants' compliance with international standards regarding their safety, effectiveness, and environmental impact.
How long does the entire process take?
Typically, it takes around 4-6 weeks from sample receipt to final report issuance. However, this can vary depending on the complexity of the surfactant being tested.
Do you offer any discounts for bulk testing?
Yes, we do offer discounted rates for clients who require multiple ISO 17353 tests. Please contact our sales team for more information.
Can you provide interim reports during the testing process?
Absolutely! Interim updates can be arranged at your request to keep you informed about progress and any significant findings discovered thus far.
What kind of instruments do you use for this test?
We employ advanced analytical tools such as HPLC, GC-MS, and FTIR to ensure precise measurements and reliable data during the testing process.
How often should I have my surfactants tested according to ISO 17353?
The frequency depends on factors like product lifecycle, regulatory requirements, and internal quality control policies. Regular reviews with our team can help determine the optimal testing schedule for your specific needs.
What happens if my surfactant fails one or more tests?
If any issues are identified, we work closely with you to identify root causes and develop corrective actions. This collaborative approach ensures that necessary improvements can be made promptly.
Can I request specific tests beyond those outlined in ISO 17353?
Certainly! While the standard provides a comprehensive suite of tests, we also offer additional options tailored to your unique requirements. Feel free to discuss these with our technical team.
