LCS Laboratory Inc. specializes in laboratory testing to support the classification of materials under the Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) regulations and the Globally Harmonized System (GHS). We provide expert analysis of physical properties to ensure accurate and compliant classification for hazardous materials.
Our services include standard tests for Flammable Liquids, Flammable Solids, and Corrosive Substances, with a focus on specialized and hard-to-find tests for industrial applications. Here are some of the key tests we offer:
Flammable Liquids (Class 3):
- Flash Point (closed cup) – Tested by ASTM D 56 to identify ignition risk.
- Initial Boiling Point – Determined using OECD 103 or ASTM D 86 to classify liquid hazards.
- Kinematic Viscosity – Measured by ASTM D 1200 to evaluate the flow characteristics of liquids.
- Water Content – Essential for assessing the presence of water in flammable substances.
Flammable Solids (Class 4):
- Readily Combustible Solids, Screening Test – Conducted by UN procedure to screen for combustion risk.
- Readily Combustible Solids, Burning Rate Test – UN procedure-based testing to measure burning rates.
- Self-Heating Substances – UN procedure testing to identify self-heating risks.
- Water Reactive Substances – Evaluated using UN procedures to classify substances that react with water.
Corrosive Substances (Class 8):
- Skin Corrosion Rate – Tested by OECD 435 to determine the effect on skin tissue.
- Metal Corrosion Rate – Performed on steel and aluminum coupons using ASTM G31-72 at 55°C, as required by GHS classification.
