PCBs and Related Compounds: Include 209 congeners, EPA Methods, PCB congener calibration mixtures, Aroclors, and PCB metabolites. PCBs were commonly used as coolants and insulation fluids in transformers and capacitators. These wide applications caused global contamination of PCBs in soil, air and waterways due to improper disposal or leakage.
Flame Retardants: Brominated Flame Retardants (BFRs) such as polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) have become global environmental contaminants because of their widespread use in numerous household and commercial products. AccuStandard offers a wide array of Flame Retardant CRMs both as neats and solution.
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS): Due to their unique properties to withstand thermal and environmental breakdown, PFAS have been used in a variety of industrial and consumer products such as firefighting foams, cleaners, cosmetics, paints, adhesives, and insecticides. Research is showing that PFAS may have harmful toxicological effects and pose a significant risk to the public.
Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs): PAHs are hydrocarbon compounds with multiple benzene rings. PAHs are typically found in asphalts, fuels, oils, and greases. They are also produced when organic compounds are exposed to high temperatures or pressures. PAHs have been linked to causing serious health problems such as cancer and hormone disruption.
Pesticide Standards: Pesticides and herbicides are used worldwide to protect crops and reduce harmful insect populations. However, they often become environmental pollutants and impact human health. AccuStandard offers over 1500 pesticides and pesticide metabolite CRMs as both neats and solutions.
Explosive Standards: Explosive standards are traditionally used for the remediation of soil and water in locations where explosives have been stored. These standards are also used for calibrating baggage screening detectors, training dogs to identify traces of explosives, and developing methods for new screening options.
Plastic Additive Standards: Plastic and polymeric material may contain hazardous chemical added either intentionally as additives or intentionally as pollutants. AccuStandard offers a comprehensive product line of reference standards, including Phthalates and Bisphenol Analogs (BPAs), for the monitoring of these chemicals.
Food Analysis Standards: Food quality testing is critical for public safety. AccuStandard’s analytical reference standards can be used for testing lipids, vitamins, preservatives, and antimicrobial compounds present in food items.
Standards for Cannabis Testing: Cannabis is legal for medicinal and recreational use in many areas. Our cannabis products include CRMs for general and regional safety requirements for cannabinoids content, pesticides, residual solvents, terpenes and heavy metals.
Biocide Standards: Biocides are used to control, or render harmless bio-organisms. They are used wherever bio-organisms may cause contamination or a health threat. However, many of them are also hazardous and testing for their residue is important. We offer an extensive line of Biocide standards for general testing and compliance with the European Biological Products Directive 98/8/EC (BPD).
Other Organic Standards include: Halogenated Aromatics, Dioxins, Alcohols, Ketones, Amines, Ethers, Phthalates, Fuels & Hydrocarbons, and Fatty Acid Methyl Ethyl Esters (FAMEs, FAEEs).

Petrochemical Standards
Our Petrochemical CRMs target the analytical needs and requirements for different petroleum tests such as determining sulfur content, other organic/inorganic compounds, and testing for physical properties including Flash Point, Viscosity, Cloud and Pour point, Freezing Point and Distillation. Valency Lab Equipments is a member of ASTM D02 on Petroleum Products, Liquid Fuels and Lubricants as well as ASTM D16 on Aromatic Hydrocarbons. Working with fellow committee members helps us constantly formulate products for both new test methods and to update existing ones.
Biofuel Standards: ASTM, EN and IP standard test methods have been developed to monitor the properties of chemical impurities and physical properties for the application of testing biofuels and biofuel blends.
Sulfur Standards: These standards are designed for the analysis of sulfur content in a wide variety of petroleum matrices. Sulfur standards are manufactured from the highest quality raw materials, including well characterized starting materials and matrices with the lowest native sulfur content.
Detailed Hydrocarbon Analysis (DHA) Standards: This includes PIANO (Paraffins, Isoparaffins, Aromatics, Naphthenes, Olefins) and PONA mixes in addition to other mixes of Total saturates, Aromatics, Polyaromatics and Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAME).
