Standards and specifications for testing chemical products
Jan 17, 2026
Chemical product testing is a multifaceted process that adheres to strict standards and regulations, which is fundamental to ensuring the accuracy, comparability, and credibility of test results.
International Standards: Such as ISO standards developed by the International Organization for Standardization and ASTM standards from the American Society for Testing and Materials, which are widely used in international trade and technical exchange.
National and Industry Standards: Each country develops its own national standards and industry-specific standards for different chemical sectors. These standards specify in detail the technical indicators, testing methods, sampling rules, and criteria for specific products.
Company Standards and Operating Procedures: Companies develop internal control standards that are stricter than national or industry standards, based on their product characteristics and customer requirements. Laboratories establish detailed standardized operating procedures, regulating various aspects such as testing personnel, instruments, reagents, environment, operating steps, and data recording and processing.
