This fall we've added new reference standards for Allergens, Nitrosamines, ASTM D86 Distillation, and more! Read more to see what we've been up to!

Allergen Reference Standards - EU Safety Directive 2009/48/EC

Our new additions for Allergen CRMs are designed for the identification of fragrance allergens in different consumer products, specifically children's toys.

Nitrosamine Reference Standards - Single Component Standards

Our newly added Nitrosamines CRMs are offered to help accurately identify these toxic chemicals in a wide range of consumer products including food and drinking water.

ASTM D86 Distillation CRMs - New 250 mL Fill Size

Now offering a new 250 mL fill size for both of our Low Range and High Range Check Standards (D-86-LR-250ML and D-86-HR-250ML) for easy and convenient verification of the thermometer measuring system.

AccuStandard Halloween 2024

As part of our Halloween Celebration, AccuStandard employees carved pumpkins, entered costume contests, and played games to raise money for a selection of charities. This year we have raised $675 distributed between Pollinator Pathway, Fostering Family Hope, and Michelle's House.

September BBQ Fundraiser

On a beautiful day in September we held a BBQ that raised $740 for Project Access New Haven, a local, non-profit organization that is focused on increasing access to medical care and service for underserved patients in the Greater New Haven area.

Year of Health Wellness Program 2024

We have continued our successful Year of Health Wellness Program. We participated in employee-led yoga and low-impact exercise classes, walked in small groups, and collaborated to solve mental challenges and puzzles during our work week.

CRMs for Sulfur Content Analysis

Sulfur content in Diesel Fuel is particularly known for causing excessive wear on engine components and contributing to air pollution upon combustion. Federal, state, and local regulatory bodies have set limits for the amount of sulfur in petroleum fuels.

Allergens in Toys

The EU Toys Safety Directive 2009/48/EC and its most recent revision which became effective on May 12th 2022, prohibits the use of 58 allergenic fragrances in toys and requires manufacturers to test for these chemicals in order to meet the EU toys safety standards.
