Regulatory Acceptance Following is a list of agencies that accept Corrositex . This list continues to grow as regulatory bodies look for more accurate, cost-effective and humane testing methods. Copies provided upon request. The Corrositex testing system consists of a glass vial filled with a chemical detection fluid capped by a proprietary bio-barrier membrane, which is designed to mimic the effect of corrosives on living skin. As soon as the corrosive sample destroys this bio-barrier, the fluid below changes color or texture.
Users simply record the time it takes for the sample to break through the membrane.
Then, depending on their needs, they can assign the proper U.N. Packing Group classification for U.S. DOT or EPA compliance, or use the data as a ranking tool or to substantiate marketing claims.
