Chem Service: Dyes

Certified reference materials (CRMs) play a critical role in ensuring the safety, quality, and regulatory compliance of food, drug, and cosmetic dyes used in products that we consume or apply to our bodies. These CRMs, approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), provide reliable and traceable reference standards that laboratories and manufacturers rely on for accurate analysis and quality control.

The use of CRMs for food, drug, and cosmetic dyes is essential due to the potential risks associated with their consumption or application. Dyes are widely employed in a range of products, including beverages, foods, drugs, and cosmetics, to enhance appearance, colour, and appeal. However, inadequate quality control and substandard dye formulations can pose health hazards, such as allergic reactions, toxicity, or adverse effects on human health.

Chem Service produce a series of reference materials which produced and certified using validated analytical techniques, providing confidence in their accuracy and reliability.
