CSR focused analysis and testing

 

As part of our commitment to sustainable development, we have developed a range of tests and analyses specifically designed to characterise materials and detect regulated chemicals.

Thanks to our ever-expanding database, we can provide you with analyses accompanied by precise comments to help you make the best use of your results.

These services go far beyond mere compliance with standards. They enable you to build a solid relationship of trust with your clients and with the consumers of your finished products.

 

Our range of analysis and tests

Analysis of bio-based carbon in materials

Measure the bio-based carbon content of your materials to support or verify your “bio-based” claim.

Our laboratories offer an innovative analysis using the radioactive carbon measurement method (standard: EN 16640).

Choose transparency for your materials by working with our experts.

Product durability testing 

CTC can help you develop your durability specifications and perform physical and mechanical tests to assess the relative durability of your products.

We constantly adapt our services to regulatory changes and offer a full range of tests:

  • Innovative tests to ensure products are fit for purpose.
  • Physical tests to ensure their durability.

We take a global approach, from real-world testing to laboratory-based performance testing, providing solutions at different levels to meet your needs.

For example, our walking and running simulator allows us to assess the cushioning of footwear by reproducing real-world conditions, while our robotic arm floor tests measure the resistance of leather goods to everyday stresses and strains.

 

Water analysis

Our laboratories carry out sampling and environmental testing on fresh water and waste water. They offer analytical solutions to meet your regulatory requirements: prefectoral decrees, French RSDE regulations to detect and minimise the discharge and emission of harmful substances into water sources, regular monitoring of discharges, self-monitoring, etc.

By taking samples and performing analyses tailored to your needs, we can help you better understand the impact of your activities on the environment. This promotes responsible management of water resources and contributes to the preservation of our planet.

Detection of PFAS in products, water and sludge

Per- and polyfluoroalkylated substances (PFAS) are a group of thousands of synthetic chemicals widely used in industry. To prevent continued pollution of the environment by these highly persistent substances whose properties are poorly understood, a number of regulations are being introduced in France, Europe and abroad.

To verify your compliance with these regulations, and depending on whether you are a product marketer or a manufacturer, our laboratories offer PFAS testing of your products, aqueous effluents and sewage sludge:

  • Total organic fluorine analysis
  • Targeted PFAS analysis

 

With CTC testing, you are choosing expertise that reinforces an ethical approach
