TESTING
REACH360 laboratory develop and provide test and laboratory analysis for companies that have to meet REACH (Reg. 1907/2006) and CLP (Reg. 1272/2008) requirements..
The laboratory performes tests for:
- substances characterization (sameness)
- qualitative and quantitative analysis of impurities and additives
- classification of substances and mixtures
- quality control of raw materials and products
- collection of data and parameters for Safety Data Sheets and Technical Data Sheets
on simple or complex matrices, substances (including mono / multi-constituent UVCB, organic / inorganic, synthetic or of natural origin), mixtures and articles.
REACH360 is a full solution because over tests&analysis, provides following services
- study of analysis strategy
- methods validation
- evaluation of the data (consulting)
- Research & Development (solutions)
The network of laboratories is able to perform analysis with analytical techniques such as:
- FT-IR spectroscopy
- ATR-IR Spectroscopy
- X-ray Diffraction (XRD)
- Elemental composition by XRF
- Thermo gravimetric analysis (DSC-TGA)
- Gas Chromatography
- Gas chromatography / mass (GC / MS / MS)
- chiral gas chromatography
- Liquid chromatography (LC-ESI-MS)
- ion chromatography
- 1H-NMR
- 13C-HNMR
- GPC - Gel permeation chromatograpy (detector with IR, UV and light scattering)
- ICP-OES (plasma atomic emission spectrometry)
- polarimetry
- Karl Fischer
- optical Microscopy
The main methods used are official (Italian law) or international standards (APAT-IRSA-CNR, APHA, UNICHIM, ASTM, EN, ECVAM, OECD).
The labs are still able to develop appropriate methods and perform the validation processes.
The test reports shall be signed by the Professional Chemists registered and therefore have legal value.
