SGS AXYS Method 16130 Recommended to EPA Approved Testing List for Dioxins
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has announced it has approved the SGS AXYS Method 16130 as a method and alternate test procedure for future regulation and detection of dioxins. Developed over two years at the SGS AXYS laboratory in collaboration with the EPA and equipment manufacturers Waters Corporation and Agilent Technologies, the SGS AXYS Method 16130 is an important piece of the puzzle in the modernization and diversification of testing for dioxins and other toxic contaminants. The current EPA 1613B dioxin testing method has long been considered the gold standard, but the magnetic sector instruments that it uses are an aging platform with decreasing vendor and instrument availability, making a new test vital.
SGS has a history of acting as a think tank for testing innovation with other methods that are continuously being developed, evaluated and sold to customers.
