Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH)

We were the first company to achieve accreditation for this testing.

With a commitment to excellence and innovation, we are proud to say that we hold UKAS Accreditation for the testing of 16 Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH) in Bituminous materials, as mandated by ADEPT Managing Reclaimed Asphalt Guidance note. Our accreditation signifies our rigorous adherence to industry best practices and demonstrates our expertise in conducting comprehensive PAH testing procedures.

We take immense pride in being the pioneering entity in the UK to achieve this accreditation. This accomplishment underscores our dedication to advancing the field of testing services and upholding the highest levels of professionalism and integrity.

EPA PAH16 (Tar) testing is a method used to measure the levels of certain chemicals called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in a sample. PAHs are a group of chemicals that are often found in tar, which is a thick, dark substance that is produced when organic materials are burned. PAHs can be harmful to human health, so it is important to measure their levels in the environment and in products that people use. EPA PAH16 testing specifically measures the levels of 16 different PAHs that are known to be harmful to human health. This testing is often used to assess the safety of products and materials, such as asphalt, coal tar sealants, and soil, as well as to monitor environmental contamination.
