Overall migration testing to measure the sum total of substances that may migrate from the material to the product
Specific migration testing to measure the transfer of individual high-risk substances
NIAS screening of non-intentionally added contaminants, breakdown products, and side products
Extractables and leachables (E&L) testing to quantify contaminants that may leach from pharmaceutical packaging
In terms of specific high-profile contaminants, we provide analyses to screen packaging materials for phthalates, PFAS compounds, nitrosamines, and various other restricted chemicals.

Assessment of barrier properties
Packaging with excellent barrier properties is essential for maintaining the quality of food, cosmetics, and other products prone to spoilage. We offer the following WVTR, OTR, and CO2 transmission rate tests to ensure sufficient protection against moisture, oxygen, and carbon dioxide:
Testing to validate sustainability claims
Recent years have seen several EU initiatives to address the environmental impacts of the packaging industry, including a new Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), which sets strict requirements for reuse and recyclability.
Our services for validating green claims in the packaging industry include:
Biobased content testing by ASTM D6866 and EN 16785-1 standards
Recyclability testing of paper and board packaging by European industry standards
Biodegradability and compostability testing, covering home compostability, industrial compostability, and biodegradation in soil and marine environments
Mechanical and thermal testing
Some of our most popular tests for assessing the durability of packaging materials under various types and intensities of mechanical stress include the following:
To optimize performance in high- and low-temperature conditions, we offer the following standardized tests:
We also offer a range of additional mechanical and thermal tests on a case-by-case basis. Do not hesitate to contact us for more information.
