Quality Assurance

Every glass container is rigorously tested in our ISO 17025-accredited laboratory to ensure compliance with pharmacopeial standards and food safety regulations before release.

Hydrolytic Resistance Testing

Glass durability testing per USP <660> and EP 3.2.1 standards. Surface and powdered glass tests to classify hydrolytic resistance and ensure container-content compatibility.

USP <660> / EP 3.2.1

Thermal Shock Testing

Evaluates glass resistance to sudden temperature changes. Containers are subjected to controlled thermal differentials to verify structural integrity under processing and filling conditions.

ISO 7459 / ASTM C149

Dimensional Analysis

Precision measurement of all critical dimensions including bore diameter, wall thickness, height, weight, and capacity using calibrated optical and mechanical instruments.

ISO 8362 / ISO 9187

Internal Pressure Testing

Destructive and non-destructive pressure testing to determine burst strength and verify containers meet minimum pressure requirements for bottled and sealed applications.

ISO 7458 / ASTM C147

Chemical Resistance Testing

Extractable and leachable studies measuring heavy metals, arsenic release, and alkali content. Ensures glass formulation meets pharmacopeial limits for chemical durability.

USP <660> / EP 3.2.1

Surface Treatment Verification

Analysis of surface coatings, de-alkalization treatments, and decorative finishes. Verifies coating adhesion, uniformity, and long-term performance.

ISO 12775 / Internal SOP

Accreditation

ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited for pharmaceutical and food-grade glass testing, ensuring technically valid and internationally recognized results.
