The modernly equipped Laboratory, together with a highly qualified team possessing extensive analytical expertise, guarantees our clients precise, reliable and trustworthy results.
The laboratory team undertakes non-standard analyses, develops new testing methods, applies state-of-the-art analytical techniques, and provides comprehensive consultancy in the field of chemical analyses related to REACH.
The laboratory conducts testing on a wide range of products, including textile, leather and polymer products as well as food products. The wide diversity of matrices tested enables the Laboratory to meet the varied requirements of its Clients.

The Laboratory for Testing of Food Products, Dyed Products and the Environment is accredited by the Polish Centre for Accreditation (PCA) (Accreditation No. AB 062) and accredited in the field of defence and security (No. 43/MON/2023).
The laboratory carries out laboratory activities and provides auxiliary support for research groups, certification processes, as well as commercial testing services for external clients.

Accredited testing includes the following:

1. Testing of the identity, presence and content of dyes in food products
2. Chemical testing of textile and leather products, including the following:

• Determination of aromatic amines,
