LCS Laboratory Inc. specializes in measuring the physical properties of materials and products that are required for authoring of a Safety Data Sheet (SDS). Independent studies show that 65% of published SDS documents miss critical properties of the products, risking product safety and compliance with the law. LCS Laboratory’s detailed, reliable testing fills these gaps, supporting industrial hygienists, safety consultants, and manufacturers who prioritize accurate data in their safety documentation.
Each parameter we measure contributes to a safer product and a complete SDS, including essential safety information for users and handlers. Our services include:
- Boiling point (initial) by OECD 103 method
- Chemical composition by Gas, Liquid or Ion Chromatography, NMR, XRD, XRF, ICP and other methods

- Flashpoint (closed cup) by ASTM D56
- Ingredient disclosure list by Gas, Liquid or Ion Chromatography, NMR, XRD, XRF, ICP and other methods
- Melting point (initial) by OECD 102
- Molecular weight (apparent) of complex vapour mixture
- Odour and physical appearance
- Oil–water partition coefficient by OECD 107 method
