Proficiency testing “Consumer goods / packaging”
With our proficiency testing programme for consumer goods and packaging, we offer you a comprehensive selection of various matrices (food contact materials (FCM), textiles, jewelry, toys, cosmetics and much more). About 200 proficiency tests from the following disciplines
chemical-physical testing
e.g. for ingredients and additives, residues and contaminants (e.g. mineral oil), migration, extraction
organoleptic (sensory) testing
e.g. for food contact materials (FCM), paper/ cardboard, threshold testing
are available to choose from.
For the year 2024/25, we have included the following new proficiency tests in the programme, among others:
Plastic - screening of SVHC - screening of NIAS
The two new PTs allow you to validate your screening procedure for substances of very high concern (SVHC) and for unintentionally added substances (NIAS). The test samples should first be examined qualitatively using screening methods. Positive results can be determined quantitatively.
Per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) in different matrices
The concentration ranges are always adapted to the respective matrix (ng/kg, µg/kg, mg/kg), the following PFAS are tested:
- CAS 1763-23-1 (perfluorooctane sulfonic acid)
- CAS 335-67-1 (perfluorooctanoic acid)
- CAS 375-95-1 (perfluorononanoic acid)
- CAS 355-46-4 (perfluorohexanesulfonic acid)
Rubber – overall migration and specific migration
Overall migration under different contact conditions and specific migration of metals and a common antioxidant are part of the new DRRR PT program.
