Environmental Chemistry Testing

The Center for Textile Industry Standardization and Services provides environmental chemistry testing services in accordance with Minister of Trade Regulation No. 33 of 2025 to ensure textile products comply with K3L (Health, Safety and Environment) standards. This testing aims to detect hazardous chemicals that could harm people and pollute the environment. Tests are carried out using national and international standard methods, ensuring textile products meet regulatory requirements and are safe for consumers and the environment.

Test Parameters:

• Extractable Heavy Metals

Analysis of Pb, Cd, Hg, Cr and As content to ensure products are free of toxic elements that can accumulate in the body.

• Free Formaldehyde

Measurement of formaldehyde content to avoid the risk of irritation and respiratory problems from excessive exposure.

• Carcinogenic Azo Compounds

Identification of azo compounds that can break down into carcinogenic dyes harmful to health.

• Total Phthalate Compounds

Testing for hazardous plasticizers that can potentially disrupt the human hormonal system.

• Flame Retardant Chemicals

Detection of flame retardant compounds containing toxic substances with long-term health effects.

• Migration Test of Certain Elements in Children's Toys

Sets maximum limits, sampling methods and extraction methods for the migration of heavy metal elements from toy materials and toy parts.

• Wastewater

Determining the characteristics and quality of wastewater through sampling and testing of physical, chemical and/or biological parameters so that its compliance with applicable quality standards can be evaluated.

• Surface Water (River Water)

Obtaining representative quality data through sampling and testing of physical, chemical and biological parameters, so that the quality of river water and its suitability for its designated use and applicable quality standards can be determined.
