#### How it works

- Tell us the product, the lot or supplier if you know it, and the destination market.

- We reply with the laboratory, the test method, the turnaround and the full cost. We say whether the test is ISO/IEC 17025 accredited at that lab.

- A sample is drawn from the lot and delivered to the lab.

- The laboratory issues its report in its own name, directly to you.

Priced per sample, not per kilo, so testing 100 grams costs the same as testing a container. Nothing is charged until you approve the quote. You can also name a laboratory yourself, including one in your own country.
