Interlaboratory Test - Dangerous Goods and Dangerous Substances - QuoData GmbH

Dangerous goods and substances

In generalQuoData works together with the BAM in Germany in quality assurance for the testing of dangerous goods and hazardous materials.

The BAM Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing in Berlin, QuoData GmbH in Dresden, and the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) in Braunschweig collectively form the centre for quality assurance for testing of dangerous goods and hazardous substances CEQAT-DGHS. Together, they provide an interlaboratory comparison program for testing the physical-chemical hazardous properties of dangerous goods and substances.

 

Regular international interlaboratory studies are carried out within the scope of CEQAT-DGHS. The center was initiated by the EOS Working group from the International Group of Experts on the Explosion Risks of Unstable Substances (IGUS).

 

The focus remains on the testing of physical and chemical properties of dangerous goods and hazardous materials, including:

  • Explosiveness
  • Flammability
  • Oxidizing properties
  • Corrosiveness
  • Determination of flash point
  • Combustibility

Our competences

While BAM and the PTB target their efforts on the realization of the method (including the selection and preparation of samples and the establishment of a study method), QuoData lends its expertise in the following areas:  

  • Development of study design
  • Organization of interlaboratory studies
  • Data management
  • Statistical analysis
  • Preparation of final reports
