The Hexion Specialty Chemicals lab in Springfield, Oregon has been accredited for emission testing under the new CARB requirements and will now operate as an independent entity under the name, Advanced Testing Services.

It will offer contract testing for third party certifiers looking to verify manufacturers compliance with low emitting product regulations. The lab is currently outfitted with two large scale chambers for ASTM E1333 testing, four small scale chambers for ASTM D6007-02 testing and an HPLC and UV/VIS detector for analysis. Four additional small scale chambers will be available for use by the end of September.

The Advanced Testing Services facility has been accredited to the ISO/IEC 17025 standard by International Accreditation Services, Inc. and is currently accepting test material.
