Safety Testing Center

Safety for chemical processes.

We investigate fire, explosion and reaction hazards associated with substances, mixtures and processes to support sound safety decisions and the safe design of processes.

Our investigations combine experimental testing with computational methods. This allows hazards to be identified at an early stage, systematically assessed and incorporated into the design of appropriate safety measures.

Understand safety. Control risks. Design safe processes.

Our services

The Safety Testing Center provides a broad range of safety-related testing and consulting services for chemical processes and substances. Our key areas of expertise include:

  • Thermal stability of substances and mixtures
  • Fire and explosion hazards
  • Runaway reactions
  • Gas-phase reactions
  • Self-reactive substances and mixtures
  • Interactions between substances
  • Thermal stability of reactive systems
  • Safety-related assessment of production processes

Reliable Data for Save Decisions

We support you in the safety assessment of substances, mixtures, and processes. Using state-of-the-art testing methods, we evaluate substances, mixtures, and processes with regard to their fire, explosion, reaction, and overall hazard potential. The resulting data provide the foundation for hazard assessments, safety concepts, and well-informed investment decisions.

From safety characterization and hazard evaluation to the investigation of process disturbances and failure incidents, we support you with independent expertise and practical recommendations tailored to your operational requirements.

Your Benefits

  • Early identification and effective management of risks
  • Safe design and operation of processes and plants
  • Compliance with regulatory and applicable industry standards
  • Greater confidence in investment and operational decision-making
  • Prevention of incidents, equipment damage, and unplanned shutdowns
  • Targeted and cost-effective implementation of safety measures

Our Commitment

We deliver more than test results. We provide reliable data and robust decision-making foundations. Our experts evaluate the results in the context of your specific application and derive actionable recommendations to support safe, efficient, and economically sustainable operations.

Understanding Safety. Managing Risks. Designing Safe Processes.

Your Request

Sample Analysis

We are happy to advise you prior to commissioning any analysis and support you in planning your investigation.

Please contact us in advance to coordinate the submission of any sample material. Safety-related testing and investigations are conducted exclusively in the laboratory and testing facilities of the Safety Engineering Testing Center.

To process your request, we require at least the following information:

----------------------------------------------------------

  • Contact person and sender
  • Sample designation
  • Objective of the investigation
  • Information on the hazard potential
  • Safety Data Sheet (if available)

----------------------------------------------------------

Important Notice:

Samples may only be submitted following prior coordination with us. Separate approval is required for unknown, reactive, unstable, or otherwise hazardous substances.

Liability and Responsibility

The sender is responsible for the accuracy and completeness of all safety-relevant information, as well as for the legally compliant packaging, labeling, and transportation of the sample material.

The Safety Engineering Testing Center reserves the right to reject samples or to limit the scope of testing if information is incomplete, labeling is missing, or safety-related concerns exist.
