We offer you the classification of 'old mineral wool' or such mineral fibres without RAL quality mark regarding their carcinogenic risk potential The carcinogenicity index, KI, is a dimensionless quantity and is determined according to the material composition of the mineral fibres to be evaluated. According to IFA / BIA method 7488, it is calculated from the sum of the mass contents (in MA-%) of Na2O, K2O, CaO, MgO, BaO and B2O3 minus twice the mass content of Al2O3. Vitreous mineral fibres are classified according to the KI according to TRGS 905 as follows, if their dimensions correspond to the WHO - fibre - definition: (length > 5µm, diameter < 3 µm, ratio length : diameter > 3 : 1) Glassy WHO fibres with a carcinogenicity index KI <= 30 are classified in category 1B. WHO vitreous fibres with a carcinogenicity index KI > 30 and KI < 40 are classified in category 2. WHO vitreous fibres shall not be classified as carcinogenic if their carcinogenicity index KI >= 40.

The term asbestos stands for a group of very resistant and non-flammable minerals with a fibrous structure. Until the beginning of the 1990s they were mainly used for thermal insulation or fire protection. Asbestos is found in brake pads and clutches, in electrical appliances, in machines and technical equipment, in heating systems and, above all, as a building material in a great many buildings. Asbestos fibres that enter the lungs can cause asbestosis, hardening and scarring of connective tissue, and cause cancer. In the meantime it has also been proven that asbestos substitutes, such as artificial mineral fibres, KMF, can cause cancer.

Testing services from a specialist: we are specialized as a testing laboratory for the simulation of specific environmental conditions and the monitoring of the influences of these conditions on electronic assemblies. We offer the following services in our test lab and at your site as contract testing.

The NDIR bundle N2O is made up of optimally matched thin film infrared emitters and a corresponding IR thermopile detector to measure nitrous oxide in gas mixes. The kit has a short delivery time and therefore achieves measurement results in a short time. This is especially an advantage for developers in research projects with a limited time span. The two-channel detector's optical filter has been optimized for the absorption spectrum of N2O (CWL: 4525 ± 20 nm / HBW: 83 ± 6 nm) and can provide important data, especially in the analysis of exhaust gases in the automotive, railway and marine sectors, the monitoring of industrial exhaust emissions and environmental monitoring.

The Optimus Green sound level meter has been specifically designed as an environmental noise meter and is perfect for measuring and monitoring exposure to noise pollution and environmental noise sources. Available as either a Class 2 or Class 1 sound level meter, built to IEC 61672, the Optimus+ Green environmental noise meter provides everything you need to measure both occupational and environmental noise to the fullest extent. Capturing the full range of sound parameters simultaneously, there's no other noise measuring instrument you need to measure and monitor exposure to environmental noise.
