Eurofins Mechem Pte Ltd, the Singapore-based company and part of Eurofins Scientific, on Tuesday (20 August) announced it received Singapore Accreditation Council (SAC) recognition for three of its marine fuel testing capabilities in May.
The company said the SAC-accredited testing capabilities, including Polymer Detection, Chlorinated Organic Compound (COC) Testing, and Acid Number Analysis, are designed to ensure marine fuels meet ISO 8217 standards.
“We are pleased to share that Eurofins Mechem is SAC-accredited and fully equipped to perform the necessary oil and chemical tests you need,” it said in a social media post.
“With the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) implementing new marine fuel regulations from June 1, 2024, we understand the critical importance of meeting these standards.”
“Ensuring the quality of marine fuels is not just about compliance—it’s about maintaining the integrity of your operations.”
Its Polymer Detection test utilises FTIR spectroscopy examination to ensure marine fuels are free from polyethylene, polystyrene and polymethacrylate.
Eurofins’ COC Testing is conducted in strict accordance with the EN 14077 method ensures that chlorinated organic compounds are within specified limits while its Acid Number Analysis ensures marine fuels are compliant with ISO 8217 standards.
