TCPP Flame Retardant Testing in Consumer Products

The Tetrachlorobisphenyl (TCPP) flame retardant has been widely used in consumer products such as textiles, furniture, and electronics to improve fire safety. However, due to its potential health risks and environmental impact, the use of TCPP is being phased out or restricted by various global regulations.

Consumer product manufacturers must ensure compliance with these regulations to avoid legal penalties and maintain brand integrity. Our laboratory offers comprehensive TCPP flame retardant testing services for consumer products, providing accurate data that supports regulatory compliance and enhances product safety.

The testing process involves several critical steps: sample preparation, chemical analysis using advanced analytical techniques like GC-MS (Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry), and evaluation against relevant international standards such as ASTM E1650 or ISO 17492. The goal is to ensure that the products contain TCPP within permissible limits set by regulatory bodies.

Our experienced team of chemists specializes in handling complex samples, ensuring precise results through meticulous sample preparation and state-of-the-art analytical methods. We provide detailed reports outlining test procedures, findings, and compliance status, which are invaluable tools for quality management teams and R&D engineers alike.

In addition to standard testing services, our laboratory also offers customized solutions tailored to specific client needs. This includes developing bespoke protocols to meet unique regulatory requirements or performing additional analyses beyond the basic scope of TCPP content determination.

Q: What certifications do you have?
We hold ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation, ensuring our laboratory meets international standards for competence in testing and calibration services.

This comprehensive approach allows us to deliver reliable results that meet both internal quality assurance objectives and external regulatory demands.
