Chemical Analysis
Comprehensive Chemical Analysis Services for Compliance
We are approved by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) as a certified laboratory to assist manufacturers, importers, distributors and retailers to meet Consumer Products Safety Information Act (CPSIA) obligations.
MAS provides several options for destructive and non-destructive testing for a number of compounds including phthalates, flame retardants, fungicides, BPA, lead, cadmium, chromium, mercury, other heavy metals, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. We analyze products, dust, wipes, and air samples from a variety of consumer and building products, especially children’s toys, for these components. We characterize properties of solids, liquids, powders, adhesives and compare those properties to libraries, standards, or other samples.
