IN-HOUSE ANALYSIS

The laboratories are accredited under ISO/IEC 17025 and are actively participating in inter-laboratory tests and international round robins.

RCI Analytical Services The Netherlands – RvA registration nr.: L611

RCI Asia Assayers – MASM registration nr.: TL110

RCI Analytical Services Ukraine – NAAU registration nr.: 2T1083

RC Inspection Group companies are carrying out an independent qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the chemical elements contained in metals listed on the LME. By using subsequently required techniques to define the required purity and minimum assay that registered brands must meet.

In addition, RCI Analytical Services determines the Gold and Silver content in Copper-, Zinc- and Lead Concentrates. By applying Fire Assay / Cupellation techniques with ICP-OES Finish in combination with Graphite Furnace AAS and Titration.

Furthermore, the laboratory based in Mariupol – Ukraine, is approved by the Grain and Feed Trade Association (GAFTA). As a result, they are competent to issue commercial analytical certificates for grain products which are traded under GAFTA contracts.

The analysis are performed using all relevant modern analytical techniques such as:

• ICP-OES (Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectroscopy),
• X-ray Fluorescence,
• Instrumental Gas Analysis for all relevant gases,
• X-ray Diffraction (XRD) Analysis,
