Advanced PFAS Testing Services in India for Global Compliance

At Cotecna Inspection India Pvt. Ltd., we are dedicated to helping industries meet evolving global regulations while promoting safer, more sustainable products. With rising concerns over PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances), often referred to as “forever chemicals” due to their persistence in the environment, manufacturers, retailers, and brands face increasing pressure to comply with strict international requirements.

PFAS are widely used in textiles, leather, packaging, and food contact materials. However, their resistance to degradation and potential health risks have made them a global regulatory priority. As a result, PFAS testing in India is now essential for companies targeting European and international markets. Noncompliance can lead to reputational damage, restricted market access, and costly product recalls.

To address these challenges, Cotecna India CPS has invested in advanced PFAS testing services, equipping our laboratory with modern instrumentation and validated methodologies. Our capabilities enable accurate PFAS detection, total fluorine screening, and globally recognized testing protocols, helping businesses ensure product integrity and stay ahead of regulatory changes.

Why PFAS Testing Matters

PFAS compounds such as PFOA, PFOS, and PFHxS have been widely used across industries for their water- and grease-resistant properties. However, their persistence in the environment and potential health impacts have led to increasingly strict regulations worldwide, particularly in Europe.

Compliance now requires reliable, validated testing methods to meet tightening thresholds. By investing in advanced PFAS testing, businesses can:

• Ensure compliance with global PFAS regulations
• Reduce risks associated with restricted substances
• Strengthen product safety and sustainability initiatives

Our Enhanced PFAS Testing Capabilities

Targeted PFAS Analysis

Our laboratory detects and quantifies a wide range of PFAS compounds, including:

• PFOA, PFOS, PFHxS
• Long-chain PFCAs
• Emerging PFAS analytes

Using LC-MS/MS and GC-MS/MS technologies, we analyze up to 62 compounds with a detection limit of 0.01 mg/kg (10 ppb), meeting European regulatory thresholds and ensuring compliance with strict international standards.

Total Fluorine Screening

In addition to targeted analysis, we offer Total Fluorine testing for broader screening. With a detection limit of 10 mg/kg, this method provides a comprehensive view of fluorine content in materials, supporting proactive risk assessment and compliance strategies.

Validated Test Methods

Our testing is aligned with internationally recognized standards to ensure accuracy and global acceptance:

• EN 17681:2025 – Textiles
• EN ISO 23702:2023 – Leather
• Food Contact Materials (FCM)

These validated methods ensure reliable, reproducible results aligned with the latest regulatory frameworks.
