Volatile Organic Compound Testing

Intertek provides VOC evaporative emission testing. Intertek works with customers on VOC issues to minimize problems before they arise in the field. Intertek provides VOC and aldehyde-ketone emission testing for a wide variety of materials and products. Gaseous constituents emitted from test samples are captured and identified. Each method requires the analysis of the chamber outlet air by GCMS and HPLC. The customer is provided a summary of the VOCs analyses so that an engineering judgment can be made as to the usability of the material.

Thermal direct vaporization analysis can also be performed as part of the VOC testing protocol. Intertek conducts industry recognized volatile organic compound (VOC) testing protocols for the automobile industry.
