Quality Control Testing for Cleaning Products

Dell Tech provides quality control testing to help manufacturers verify product consistency, safety, and performance. Our ISO 17025 accredited laboratory performs batch verification, stability testing, and specification checks to ensure every production lot meets defined standards and regulatory requirements before release to market.

Common Quality Control Tests We Perform

icon

pH Measurement

Performed using ASTM D1172 or ASTM D1293 to assess product acidity or alkalinity.

icon

Cloud Point Determination

Measured by ASTM D2024 to determine the temperature at which a solution becomes cloudy.

icon

Total Alkalinity (%)

Evaluated using ASTM D460 to quantify alkaline components in the formulation.

icon

Cationic Actives

Tested using ISO 2781-2 to measure active cationic surfactants like quaternary ammonium compounds (quats).

icon

Specific Gravity

Measured by ASTM D891 to determine product density relative to water.

icon

Accelerated Stability Testing

Includes hot/cold temperature alternation and shelf life simulation to assess long-term product integrity.

icon

Kauri-Butanol Value

Performed using ASTM D1133 to evaluate solvent strength.

icon

Ross Miles Foam Test

ASTM D1173 method used to measure foam height and stability.

icon

Specular Gloss

Measured using ASTM D523 to assess surface shine and reflectivity.

icon

Organoleptic Inspection

Visual and sensory evaluation of color, odor, and physical state.

icon

Compatibility Testing

Assesses product interaction with packaging materials and surfaces.

icon

Flash Point Testing

Performed using ASTM D56 (Tag Closed Cup) or ASTM D93 (Pensky-Martens Closed Cup) to determine flammability thresholds.

Why Quality Control Testing Matters

Routine quality control testing helps ensure:

Note: Dell Tech is not a formulator and does not provide formulation guidance or recommendations on which parameters should be tested. We rely on the test sponsor’s expertise in their own product to prescribe the specification ranges and test methods appropriate for quality control.

Flexible Testing Schedules

Dell Tech can establish recurring testing programs based on your production cycle or regulatory requirements. Whether you need monthly stability checks or weekly batch verification, we’ll build a schedule that works for you.

Reporting and Documentation

All results are compiled into a detailed report tailored to your quality control needs. Reports can include:

Frequently Asked Questions About Quality Control Testing

Dell Tech performs quality control testing on a wide range of household, industrial, and institutional cleaning products, including liquids, gels, sprays, wipes, concentrates, and disinfectants. Our ISO 17025 accredited laboratory verifies that each formulation meets defined performance, appearance, and stability criteria before release.

Yes. Dell Tech designs tailored quality control programs to match your specific product type, production process, and regulatory requirements. We can develop custom test panels, sampling plans, and reporting formats that integrate seamlessly with your internal quality systems and documentation protocols.

We offer flexible scheduling options to fit your manufacturing cycle and quality monitoring needs. Testing can be performed on a bi-weekly, monthly, quarterly, or custom basis. Ongoing QC programs help identify variability early and maintain product consistency across production runs.

Absolutely. In addition to laboratory testing, Dell Tech’s Product Safety Group provides expert regulatory review and labeling guidance. We help ensure your products comply with the Canadian Consumer Chemicals and Containers Regulations (CCCR), U.S. CPSC requirements, and relevant ecolabel or retailer standards.
