ISO 18562-2 and 18562-3 Testing Services
Testing and determination of Particulate Matter (PM) and Volatile Organic Substances (VOS) according to ISO 18562-2 and ISO 18562-3.
ISO 18562-2 and ISO 18562-3 require the measurement of particles and volatile organic substances (VOS) emitted by medical devices during use.

Particles and VOS emitted from the devices are collected by customized settings accounting for usage time, airflow, and temperature.
In addition to standard VOS screening testing, we offer specialized collection and quantification of isocyanates and aldehydes (e.g., formaldehyde, acetaldehyde) released from the medical devices.
