Biobased carbon content
Biobased carbon testing is a specific method used to determine the amount of carbon in a product that is derived from biomass.
At Normec OWS, we can support you with a range of analytical services. These include heavy metals & fluorine testing, biobased carbon content, compost analyses, milling, and FT-IR spectroscopy, all done under strict quality controls. As a flexible, customer-centered laboratory, we can perform these analytical services individually, to establish specific product characteristics, or as part of a wider scope.
If you have any specific questions or custom requirements regarding the nature of your product, please get in touch to see how we can be of help.

No, we are an independent test laboratory, meaning we only perform testing and do not grant certification. We can however assist you in obtaining certification from recognized certification agencies. Please note that to avoid a conflict of interest, certification should be independent from testing.
Testing duration depends on the specific type of test and the product itself. This can range from a couple of weeks for material characteristics testing, to months or even years for biodegradation testing. As these are microbial processes, we cannot predict the exact duration beforehand.
As Normec OWS is accredited globally by all certification bodies, you can go to the certifying body of your choice. Alternatively, you could use the reports for research purpose, marketing, or legal claims, depending on the test conditions and the level of quality control.
