Increasing requirements for intermediates make it essential for manufacturers and suppliers to demonstrate the safety of their raw materials. Customers, OEMs, and regulations demand reliable documentation.
Without qualified analysis, there’s a risk of queries, product delays, or even rejection of entire batches. This is especially critical for exports or certification processes, where untested substances can lead to significant setbacks.
Our analyses in accordance with EN 16143 give you the confidence you need – and accelerate your product release processes significantly.

Description of the Procedure
The EN 16143 method is based on the extraction of PAH-containing components followed by detection using GC-MS. The method was specifically developed for the analysis of process and plasticizer oils and provides robust, reproducible results. Even for complex samples.
We analyze your submitted samples using a validated procedure based on EN 16143. The PAH compounds are extracted with a solvent, then separated chromatographically and determined by mass spectrometry. The method is particularly suitable for complex matrices such as mineral or base oils.
The analysis is performed according to EN 16143 using GC-MS (gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry). Relevant polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are extracted, enriched, and subsequently identified and quantified. The procedure is standardized and allows for a reliable assessment of PAH contents.
Substances Analyzed
Our analysis covers all 8 PAHs required by EN 16143, with particular focus on benzo[a]pyrene the key indicator for toxicologically relevant contaminants in rubber and process oils. Each compound is determined individually with precise concentration values.
We analyze the eight PAHs listed in Annex XVII of the REACH Regulation including benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), benzo[k]fluoranthene (BkF), and dibenzo[a,h]anthracene. These substances are especially critical with respect to human health.

Standards / Accreditation
Our laboratory analyses follow the internationally recognized EN 16143 standard and are performed in accordance with documented quality requirements. This ensures compliance with regulatory standards and guarantees maximum reliability of results.
All analyses are conducted strictly according to DIN EN 16143 and fully comply with the requirements of the European REACH regulation. The method is validated and represents the current state of the art.
Sample Requirements / Shipping Instructions
For the analysis, we require a small amount of your material (20–30 g is sufficient). Please use clean, tightly sealed sample containers e.g. screw-cap plastic or glass bottles. Further details on sample submission will be provided automatically via email after your inquiry.
Please send approximately 20–30 g of your oil sample in a tightly closed, clean glass or plastic container, clearly labeled. Shipping can be done by post or courier.
Turnaround Time & Reporting
Within 5–7 working days after sample receipt, you will receive a complete analysis report by email. It includes all measurement results, methodological details, and a clear interpretation regarding the suitability of your product for use.
The typical turnaround time is 5–7 working days after sample receipt. You will receive a standards-compliant test report including individual results for all analyzed PAHs.
