Analysis, failures and compliance: securing your products and processes

In the chemical industry, every decision impacts the safety, regulatory compliance and performance of your products.

Securing your decisions in a demanding regulatory environment

Regulatory and quality constraints are constantly increasing:

In this context, intuition or internal testing are no longer sufficient.

Whether it’s identifying contamination, understanding a formulation drift, analyzing a non-conformity, or validating a raw material, the stakes go far beyond simple analysis.

  • Is an impurity impacting the stability or safety of the product?
  • Is a formulation variation the cause of a non-conformity?
  • Does a defect originate from the process, the raw materials, or storage?
  • Does your product comply with regulatory requirements (REACH, CLP, pharmacopoeias, etc.)?

The goal is not just to obtain an analytical result, but to ensure the reliability of an industrial decision.

As in other demanding sectors, analysis becomes a strategic lever to reduce risks, ensure compliance and make production more reliable.

A chemical analysis laboratory

We operate on two complementary fronts to secure your products and processes:

Chemical expertise

Identify, characterize, understand.

Objective: to guarantee the conformity and control of your products

Chemical analysis and expertise laboratory for risk and substance management

Failure & process expertise

Understand, correct, make reliable

 

A failure can be chemical, physical, or process-related: only a comprehensive approach can identify its origin.

Objective: identify the root cause and ensure production continuity.

Our analytical infrastructure is at your service to address your business challenges.

An analytical park serving the chemical industry

Our technical resources (GC-MS, LC-MS, ICP-OES / ICP-MS, FTIR, XRD, DSC, TGA, SEM-EDX…) are not an end in themselves, but rather a means to:

Understanding a complex chemical phenomenon
Identify the source of a non-conformity
Justify a quality or regulatory decision
Optimize a formulation or a process

A scientific partner for the entire value chain

Chemical analysis: understand before deciding

Chemical analysis is not limited to a result; it allows us to:

  • precisely characterize a substance or product
  • detect invisible anomalies
  • understand behavior (instability, degradation, etc.)
  • validate regulatory compliance

Whether it concerns a non-compliant raw material, an unstable product, or unknown contamination, the challenge is always the same: transforming uncertainty into actionable data for decision-making.

Scientific expertise at the service of industrial performance

FILAB's role goes beyond that of a simple service provider. It is a technical partner capable of:

  • securing your market launches
  • reducing quality risks
  • improving the reliability of your processes
  • accelerating your R&D projects
  • supporting your decisions with scientific evidence

Our FAQ

When should you use a chemical analysis laboratory?
  • Product non-conformity
  • Appearance of a defect (odor, instability, precipitate, etc.)
  • Change of supplier or formulation
  • Regulatory requirement
  • Production problem
What is the difference between analysis and expertise?
  • Analysis: provides a result
  • Expertise: interprets and explains this result
  • R&D: proposes a suitable solution
Can an unknown contamination be identified?

Yes. Analytical techniques make it possible to identify compounds in trace amounts and trace them back to their origin.

How to get a quote from FILAB?
