ISO 22662 Monomer Residue Testing in Polymeric Materials
The ISO 22662 standard provides a comprehensive framework for assessing monomer residues within polymeric materials, ensuring that products meet stringent safety and quality standards. This service is crucial for industries where the presence of monomers or oligomers can pose health risks to consumers, particularly in sectors like healthcare, electronics, and consumer goods.
The process involves detailed sample preparation, extraction techniques, and chromatographic analysis to quantify monomer residues. Compliance with this standard helps manufacturers avoid potential recalls, legal issues, and reputational damage. The test results are essential for regulatory compliance, ensuring that products are safe for end-users.
Our laboratory follows the latest ISO 22662 guidelines meticulously, utilizing advanced analytical instrumentation such as Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) to achieve precise and reliable monomer residue measurements. This service not only ensures regulatory compliance but also enhances product quality and safety.
The test involves several critical steps: sample collection, extraction of monomers using appropriate solvents, and analysis via GC-MS or similar techniques. The acceptance criteria are based on the maximum permissible levels set by ISO 22662, which vary depending on the type of polymer and its intended use.
Our team has extensive experience in this area, providing accurate and reliable results that meet international standards. We also offer consultation services to help clients understand how monomer residues affect their products and provide guidance on best practices for minimizing these residues during production.
