International clients
Your products travel. Your testing partner should understand where they are going.
Tandell Research serves manufacturers, brands, formulators, and raw-material suppliers worldwide from our laboratory in Ilderton, Ontario, Canada. We support projects for the United States, European Union, United Kingdom, Canada, and other markets.
Define the market first
One laboratory. A study built around your application.
The intended market influences the benchmark, use directions, water conditions, equipment, and evidence required. We agree the scope before testing.
United States
Compare cleaning products, detergents, surfactants, and raw materials using applicable ASTM, HCPA, AATCC, or custom protocols. Discuss performance evidence for Green Seal, UL ECOLOGO, and EPA Safer Choice applications.
European Union & United Kingdom
Plan product comparisons using applicable IKW, A.I.S.E., or category-specific approaches. We support EU Ecolabel and Nordic Swan hard-surface cleaning performance studies, subject to the relevant protocol and laboratory acceptance requirements.
Other international markets
Share your destination market, intended use, proposed claim, and any customer or certification requirements. We select an appropriate standardized or custom study and clearly describe the conditions and limits of the results.
Scope the project remotely
Send the product category, target markets, study objective, proposed method, and desired timing. We review samples, benchmarks, reporting needs, and any certification-body instructions before work begins.
Coordinate samples before shipping
Contact us for required quantities and shipping instructions. Provide available safety data sheets and product information so shipment suitability can be reviewed. Confirm customs descriptions and any dangerous-goods requirements with your carrier or broker before dispatch.
Receive documented evidence
Your report describes the agreed methods, conditions, controls, and results. We connect findings to the study objective so your technical team can assess formulation changes, comparisons, and next steps.
Common questions
Working with Tandell from outside Canada.
Explore all testing services · Certification performance testing · Methods and claims
Do we need to visit the laboratory?
Project scoping and technical communication can take place remotely. Tell us if your project requires witnessed testing or another specific arrangement.
Will a report be accepted in my market?
Acceptance depends on the method, product category, intended use, and receiving organization. Share the requirements before testing so we can review the protocol and any laboratory-acceptance conditions with you.
Is every test accredited?
Tandell is accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 under A2LA Certificate 7299.01. Accreditation applies to the methods listed in our published scope. Custom studies and other methods are reviewed separately.
Can one study support several countries?
Sometimes. We first compare the methods, benchmarks, use conditions, and reporting requirements. A shared study is appropriate only where those requirements are compatible; separate test conditions may be needed.
