Indianapolis, IN August 24, 2009 -- Heritage Environmental'ss laboratory group is excited to announce that it can now help customers conform to the requirements of the new consumer product safety regulations focused on child safety. In August 2009, Heritage Laboratories successfully passed all audit requirements and has been awarded a certification to perform lead and phthalate testing by the American Association for Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA), announced Gary Klingler, Lab Director.
The regulations, CPSIA 2008, issued by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission require that manufacturers and resellers certify through independent third party testing that their toys
and other child care products do not contain harmful levels of lead or phthalates. Products containing harmful levels of lead have been subject to massive recalls and fines have been
issued. Independent third party testing helps ensure the safety of the consumers who use these products.
Heritage'ss laboratory group also provides environmental analytical testing services, including groundwater, drinking water and industrial discharge water testing as well as hazardous
waste characterization and oil/fuel testing. The laboratory is a unit of Heritage Environmental Services, a nationwide provider of byproduct and waste management, landfill, industrial
cleaning and logistics services. Visit their web site at http://www.heritage-enviro.com for more information.
If you would like more information about this or any other analytical service, please contact Gary Klingler, Laboratory Director.
