Electrical decontamination analysis
Testing to determine the concentration of soluble chloride salts on cleaned electrical items.
When to use it
Electrical and electronic items (computers, monitors, racked equipment, printers and similar) can be affected by soluble chloride salts left behind after a structural fire, which can cause corrosion over time. This test checks whether an item has been cleaned to a level where that risk is controlled, before it’s returned to use.
How sampling works
A test patch method is used on uncoated surfaces of the item being tested to determine the concentration of soluble chloride salts present.
What’s in the report
The report states the chloride concentration measured against the pass level used.
Other tests in our laboratory

On-site micro-vacuum sampling and stereo microscopy to identify what insects are present.
ExploreSalts analysis
Testing for a wide range of minerals, used to help identify the source of moisture ingress.
ExploreSoot and char microscopy
Checks whether fire-related particulate remains on a surface after cleanup works are completed.
