Tried and tested

Essentra’s Scientific Services laboratory was one of the first in the world to be accredited for testing tobacco products and filters to ISO 17025. Laboratory services cover a range of commercial testing capabilities to support decisions about regulatory submissions or product development. Our ISO 17025 schedule of accreditation has recently expanded to include e liquid testing and selected compounds in e cigarette emissions.

Tests include ignition propensity, mainstream and side-stream smoke (for all compounds required by current regulation, such as ANVISA and many more), tobacco testing and GOTHIATEK®. We also offer bespoke method development and validation for specific products and needs.

Testing can be carried out on cigarettes, Roll-Your-Own, cigars, e-cigarettes and all other tobacco products.
