Product Compliances

  • All our permeation analyzers, process analyzers and packaging test analyzers - as part of our new product development (NPD) process - get safety and EMC compliance testing through a third-party certification such as Intertek, TUV or EKTOS. 
  • Depending on the requirements, the analyzer complies with either machinery or low voltage directive (LVD).
  • All analyzer models go through the risk assessment to ensure safety elements for our service technician, distributors and end user.
  • A declaration of conformity (DoC) is provided for each model in the product manual under the compliance section.
  • Photoionization detectors (PID) go through intrinsic safety testing through a third-party certification body such as UL:
    • II 1 G Ex ia IIC Ga
    • RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU
    • RoHS Directive UK S.I. 2012:3032

Q3 Permeation Newsletter
Testing full packages – including seals and closures – for gas transmission rate is essential to assess barrier performance and ensure product stability. These tests measure how much oxygen, water vapor or carbon dioxide permeates through packaging materials.
Safeguarding Beverage Quality
Food and beverage safety begins with clean carbon dioxide (CO₂). In the beverage industry, quality is essential and behind the scenes, CO₂ plays a vital role in carbonation. Yet, when its purity is compromised, the impact can extend well beyond taste.

Testing Nonwoven Materials Through WVTR
Nonwoven materials – characterized by their web-like structure and production without weaving or knitting – have found widespread application in various industries, including healthcare, packaging and filtration. Understanding the water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) of these materials is crucial for numerous reasons.

With our Lab Manager, Joel Fischer, discover how whole package testing is essential for ensuring product shelf-life and overall performance of the entire packaging system.

How We Help Improve Healthcare Packaging
The healthcare industry is one of the largest and most intricate sectors globally, generating over $30 billion annually (a figure projected to double by the mid-2030s). This expansive industry impacts practically everyone – from cutting-edge implantable tech to contact lenses to medications.
Q4 Permeation Products & Services Newsletter
The thickness of a bottle wall plays a critical role in determining its effectiveness as a permeation barrier. Permeation can impact shelf life and product quality. By increasing bottle thickness, manufacturers can enhance barrier properties.
