Intertek Wilton chemicals and materials testing laboratory supports your product lifecycle through advanced materials testing, regulatory analysis, chemical analysis and problem solving
Bringing products to market today means overcoming the challenges of new product development, manufacturing and compliance with global regulations. From chemicals to food contact materials, pharmaceuticals, polymers, catalysts, nanomaterials, petrochemicals, adhesives, surfactants and medical devices, our consulting and analytical solutions allow you to identify and mitigate risks associated with supply chains, products or raw material quality and product performance.
Our Intertek Wilton team deliver assurance through testing and consulting for regulatory requirements such as food contact materials and chemical registration. We also provide problem-solving, research support and analytical investigation programs to global customers in production, product development, research and technical service.
With over 30 years of experience providing regulatory assurance, expert analytical services and R&D support, our scientists and regulatory experts work with global developers and manufacturers at every stage of a product’s lifecycle. Our clients benefit from the expertise of world-class scientists applied to their problems, often in multi-technique problem-solving situations.
REACH and UK REACH Registration Services, Testing and Compliance Support
We have a successful track record that has delivered REACH compliance for global clients. Our experts offer tailored UK REACH testing programs designed to facilitate a successful registration. We conduct the regulatory REACH testing programs for substance identification, sameness, and nanoforms characterisation with experienced technical guidance to ease your registration process. Intertek’s scientists generate high quality analytical services for structural and compositional information to meet the requirements of your dossier.
