LCS Laboratory offers fast and reliable test for classification of corrosive liquids and solids. The test follows OECD 435 procedure, which is a standard test method recommended by United Nations and Government of Canada for GHS and TDG classification. In this test we measure time of penetrating disintegration of a biomembrane, which represents property of human skin. Typical corrosion time varies from few seconds for strong acids and alkaline solutions and up to several hours for organic solvents and weak acids.
The biggest ethical advantage of the method is that it is performed in vitro and no animal testing is needed. The test is performed in our laboratory in London, Ontario, Canada by a team of professional chemists. The test is environmentally friendly and requires only 3-5 mL of the sample delivered in glass or PP vial. The sample should be shipped with a request form , which identifies the sample by it trade name, and batch number. For the safety reason we will ask you about chemical composition of the product that you need to test.
