Accurate water content analysis is critical for determining whether your product meets the classification criteria for flammable liquids under the Globally Harmonized System (GHS). At LCS Laboratory Inc., we specialize in testing flammable liquids to help clients ensure compliance with transportation regulations and potentially reclassify products as non-flammable. This simple test can save costs and simplify the handling and shipping of your materials.
For example, products like wine with an alcohol content below 18% (and a water concentration of 72% or higher) are typically exempt from being classified as flammable. This reclassification can make a significant difference in the regulatory obligations associated with your product.
Expert Water Content Testing for GHS Compliance
Our laboratory employs a range of standard and proprietary methods to measure water content with precision and reliability. The choice of method depends on the specific composition and properties of your product, ensuring the most accurate results. Common techniques include:
Gravimetric Analysis: A reliable option for solid samples, focusing on moisture loss upon drying.
Distillation and Spectroscopic Methods: Tailored to meet unique testing requirements for complex materials.
If you require a specific testing method, please contact us beforehand to discuss your needs.
