Notices:

* - The method is not accredited (if text in the column "Standard" begins with an asterisk - "*")

​--  When the parameters of calorific value (Q), volatile matter (V), ash content (A) or radioactivity (Cs) as well as any parameters for "Dry material" are ordered, the determination of moisture content (M) is also required and is added to such orders

--  Delivery time for testing results depend on the backlog and is usually 2 to 5 working days.  Rush orders possible.

-- Testing options always depend on the characteristics of the sample.

-- Prices are given excluding VAT; VAT not applicable for orders placed outside Latvia

–- Preparation of the sample for testing (codes in pricelist:

SP;SM;SS;SH;SD;SA;SC, as well as Dry1) are included in the order by the laboratory as needed.
