Our Laboratory Testing Process
We make laboratory testing straightforward, from selecting the appropriate tests to delivering clear, reliable results. Our team works with you throughout the process to ensure your testing program aligns with your technical requirements, project timeline, and budget.
Tell us about your materials, processes, and testing objectives. Our team will help you identify the most appropriate tests and provide a tailored quotation.
Once testing is authorized, we'll provide instructions for preparing, packaging, and shipping your samples, including any applicable sample quantity requirements.
Our technical team conducts the agreed testing using established methods and quality procedures, with efficient standard turnaround times and expedited options when available.
Receive a detailed laboratory report documenting your results, with additional technical guidance available to help you understand the findings and their implications for your operations.
The effective management of process safety-related risks requires a proper understanding of the hazardous properties of materials involved.
At Stonehouse Process Safety we provide a complete range of laboratory testing for the evaluation of the materials you handle including powders/dusts, liquids, vapors, gases, or solids. We test and measure flammability, combustibility, explosibility, ignition sensitivity, explosion severity, thermal decomposition/self-heating, and electrostatic properties, and more.
Our laboratory, supported by our process safety specialists, provides you with all you need to obtain the necessary, quality-controlled data for the safe operation of your processes.
Our ISO 17025-Accredited Laboratory
This laboratory is accredited in accordance with the recognized International Standard ISO/IEC 17025:2017. This accreditation demonstrates technical competence for a defined scope and the operation of a laboratory quality management system (refer to joint ISOILAC-IAF Comminque dated April 2017).
Stonehouse is DEA-licensed and authorized to handle, store, and test controlled dangerous substances (Schedules I–V). This allows us to conduct the full range of our combustible dust and electrostatic tests using these materials.
