Quality

Quality starts with meaningful data

Only reliable, traceable laboratory results let you release cargoes, prevent contamination and demonstrate compliance. As an ISO 17025-accredited laboratory with GAFTA and FOSFA approval, our reports meet the highest standards of reproducibility, accuracy and legal validity — and are accepted by traders and authorities worldwide.

Our methods range from gas chromatography (GC) for oils to PCR for GMO detection, all validated and aligned with international frameworks.
