Unilab offers highly specialized consulting services for the management of industrial contamination by carrying out consultations and tests according to ISO 16232, on customer specifications or on the work instructions that you provide when requesting tests.

The EN ISO 16232 standard, as well as the technical specification VDA 19.1, indicates that the requirement is the result of an AGREEMENT. The shared definition of the cleaning requirement between Customer and Supplier is the first fundamental step to guarantee the quality and reliability of a product. The agreement as a basis for collaboration is not just an achievement, but a demonstration of constructive cooperation and mutual understanding of needs.

While ISO 16232 and VDA 19.1 define the methods for contaminant extraction, determination and quantification, the customer specifications contain the defined requirement for the part, giving limits in terms of weight and particle size.

Unilab supports you in understanding and analyzing the client’s specific needs but also in writing useful, specific and targeted internal work instructions for your self-made tests.

We advise on the various contamination tests and interpretation of customer specification requirement because an inappropriate door definition or misreading can lead to unclear or unshared cleaning requirement definition as well as product waste, Customer complaints, damage to the company’s reputation or increased production costs.
