Our EcoAnalytix™ initiative is focused on providing information and instrument solutions that enable consumer goods manufacturers to assure the safety of the products they produce. Our application focused measurement solutions have been developed to detect harmful contaminants in a wide range of consumer products. We're keeping abreast of the changes to legislation, new laws and testing requirements that affect the industry.
Manufacturers may need to develop a quality assurance program to ensure products meet safety standards which may include screening raw materials and sub-components, so that there's a greater likelihood that final products meet standards and can be certified by a testing lab. Learn More
We're continually working to develop EcoAnalytix analyzers, configured systems and instrument solutions to encompass the new more stringent testing requirements from the CPSC and the EU that are being proposed. Learn More

The first in the series, the PlaySafe Analyzer for Toxic Metals uses CPSC test methodology to meet regulatory requirements (EN 71-3; ASTM F963; CPSIA 2008). It can easily test up to 50 samples per hour for lead – from raw materials to final product or anywhere along the process – as outlined by the CPSC as well as seven other metals regulated by the EU under EN 71-3.

New lower lead limits (CPSIA 2008) took effect August 14, 2009 reducing lead levels from 600 ppm to 90 ppm. (CPSC lead stay update 12/18/09) In the United States (US), and the European Union (EU), governments have proposed and or updated requirements for consumer product safety testing. In the US the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has tightened standards related to lead and plasticizers (Phthalates) in toys. The EU has also proposed revisions to EN-71 (standards for toys) to expand the number of metals and organic contaminants regulated in toys. Learn more.
