Your accredited test laboratories
Precision, flexibility and speed in the area of analytical problem solving
We are pleased to assist you with the correct classification of your products or waste from various production sectors. Through comprehensive analyses in the fields of environmental and material analytics, we can determine the chemical and physical properties of your materials and provide you with individual, expert evaluations or assessments.
The classification of substances and mixtures regarding their water-hazardous properties is carried out through comprehensive analysis, leading to the determination of the Water Hazard Class (WGK). These are categorized into:
Non-hazardous to water (nwg)
WGK 1: slightly hazardous to water
WGK 2: hazardous to water
WGK 3: highly hazardous to water
Generally hazardous to water (awg)
We assess your product from an environmental perspective to determine whether its use could potentially harm the soil or groundwater. Typical applications include drilling fluids (e.g., bentonites). Evaluation criteria include:
Principles of the German Institute for Building Technology (DIBt) for evaluating construction products
Mantelverordnung 2023
Substitute Building Materials Ordinance (ErsatzbaustoffV) and Federal Soil Protection Ordinance (BBodSchV)
Threshold values for groundwater according to the Länder Working Group on Water (LAWA)
WGK classification according to AwSV (Regulation on Installations for the Handling of Water-Hazardous Substances)
Considering the EU's legal requirements as well as national regulations of Germany, we can assist you in resolving waste law-related questions based on specific analysis. Our services include:
Classification of waste
Assignment of AVV (waste code) numbers
Determination of hazardous properties of waste as dangerous/non-dangerous
Landfill class determination
We assist you in the correct classification, labelling, and packaging of substances and mixtures based on our analysis. Results of our evaluations include:
Identification of hazardous ingredients
Assignment to hazard classes and hazard pictograms
H-statements, P-statements, and signal words
Exposure assessments
We classify substances, solutions, and mixtures according to the Dangerous Goods Transportation Regulations. Based on our analysis and dangerous goods regulations (ADR), we determine the following classifications for your test samples:
UN number
ADR class
Packing group
We help you manage regulatory matters and identify legal risks, providing recommendations for risk minimization according to chemical regulations (e.g., REACH, GHS, CLP). We also assist in the proper classification, labelling, and packaging of substances and mixtures, as well as the preparation of safety data sheets and technical data sheets.
Creation of safety data sheets and technical data sheets
Ensuring SDS compliance with REACH/CLP regulations
Classification and labelling according to GHS
PCN notification and UFI code creation
