# Formaldehyde Analysis and Testing Laboratory (CAS No. 50-00-0) – Copy

## Your needs: carry out the testing and analysis of formaldehyde in your industrial products

### What is formaldehyde?

Formaldehyde, also known as methanal, is used in the form of a colorless gas or an aqueous solution for its flammable, disinfectant and preservative properties… With a wide range of uses, it is very commonly found in the textile industry, the wood industry (as an adhesive or binder), and in hospital settings (as a disinfectant).

### Why carry out formaldehyde testing or analysis?

Formaldehyde is also known for its irritating effects on the respiratory tract and eyes. Classified since 2004 as a “carcinogenic substance to humans” by the IARC, exposure to formaldehyde in indoor and outdoor environments is closely monitored.

With this in mind, you are looking for a laboratory capable of measuring the presence of formaldehyde in your products or environment in order to validate your activity’s compliance with regulatory standards.
