PFAS-Free Product Certification Services
As a specialized PFAS testing lab, we provide independent, third-party certification to verify that your products are free from intentionally added per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Our women-owned small business holds DOD, NELAP, and state level accreditations, ensuring rigorous, defensible testing for manufacturers navigating regulations like Maryland SB686, California's AB 1817, and New York's ECL 37-0121. With our PFAS-only focus, we help you achieve credible "PFAS-Free" claims through science-based verification.
Why PFAS-Free Certification?
PFAS chemicals are increasingly regulated due to health and environmental concerns. Affidavits alone aren't enough—retailers, consumers, and regulators demand independent proof. Our certification goes beyond basic compliance:
- Validates no intentionally added PFAS (stricter than many state "safe harbors" like California's 100/50 ppm TOF).
- Builds trust with transparent, accredited testing.
- Positions your products (e.g., automotive interiors, textiles, cleaners, cosmetics) for market access in restricted states.
Certification Process
Our multi-step evaluation ensures comprehensive verification:
- Total Organic Fluorine (TOF) Screening: Initial test to detect any fluorinated compounds below detectable limits (typically <20 ppm).
- Targeted PFAS Analysis: Detailed LC-MS/MS testing for specific PFAS by CAS number, aligning with state requirements.
- Material and Supply Chain Audit: Review formulations, supplier data, and quality systems to confirm no intentional addition.
- Manufacturer Affidavit: Signed statement affirming PFAS-free status, backed by our lab results.
- Ongoing Surveillance: Annual re-testing for maintained certification.
We use ISO 17025-compliant methods in our accredited lab, with fast turnaround for U.S.-based manufacturers.
