The Center for Certification Testing of Non-Ferrous Metals, Standard Samples and Metrological Support of Analytical Control of the Production of Non-Ferrous Metals and Products Made of Them was created on the basis of the Analytical Department of JSC “TITAN INSTITUTE” – the leading one in Ukraine in the field of primary non-ferrous metallurgy, rare earth and semiconductor industry and the basic one in the field of metrological support of production (CERTIFICATE OF RECOGNITION OF COMPETENCE No. 06544-2-7-71U-VL, date of registration 02.10.2023).
Specialization of the Center for Certification Testing of Non-Ferrous Metals, Standard Samples and Analytical Support of Analytical Control – certification tests, performance of metrological examinations, development of new methods of analysis and standard samples, assessment of the technical competence of measuring laboratories of enterprises and organizations of Ukraine.
The center includes two testing laboratories: the laboratory of chemical and physicochemical research and analysis methods (lab. No. 13) and the laboratory of physical and spectrochemical research and analysis (lab. No. 18). Together they are capable of solving many problems in their field of activity.
The distinctive feature of the Center is a wide range of technical capabilities and versatility in performing work. The Center’s specialists have at their disposal devices of domestic production, leading companies from the USA, Japan, Holland, Germany, Great Britain, Russia, as well as devices of their own design. This allows solving almost any problems of analytical control of products at all stages of the technological cycle: determining the material composition from microconcentrations to macrocontent in objects of the metallurgical industry and other industries, monitoring the air and water basins of enterprises and industries. In the agricultural complex, the Center can perform a full range of studies from soil research to analysis of finished products, determining the content of heavy metals and nitrates.
The Center’s specialists perform the following types of work:
• certification testing of materials and substances, as well as products made from them in the facilities declared in the area of competence. The nomenclature of measurement objects includes: aluminum and aluminum-based alloys; primary magnesium; granulated magnesium, magnesium alloys, sponge titanium, titanium blanks, shaped titanium castings, titanium alloys, titanium tetrachloride, titanium powders of all types, titanium concentrate, titanium slag, titanium iodide, titanium dioxide pigment, titanium alloys; nickel, nickel and copper-nickel alloys; manganese, manganese raw materials, technological products of germanium production; germanium dioxide; hafnium dioxide, hafnium oxychloride; scandium oxide, scandium-containing compounds; zirconium concentrate, zirconium and zirconium-containing compounds; bauxites of various deposits, alumina, electrocorundum, kyanite-silimanite concentrate, staurolite concentrate, tungsten concentrate, titanium ores of all origins, rutile concentrate, ilmenite concentrate, iron ores and agglomerates, refractories and refractory raw materials; silicon carbide, boron carbide, ferroalloys, sludge and slag from ferronickel production and ferroalloy production, lime and its compounds, steel, cast iron and other metallurgical objects, rare metals, semiconductor materials, carbon products and all types of waste from these objects, emissions into the atmosphere from stationary industrial sources, surface and return water, waste, soils;
• performance of work on the assessment of the technical competence of measuring laboratories of enterprises and organizations of Ukraine in order to meet the needs of business entities and their divisions in independent recognition of competence regarding measurements and testing of characteristics (indicators) of products of the mining and metallurgical, mechanical engineering and chemical industries in accordance with SOU 74.9-001:2017 “Assessment and recognition of the competence of business entities and their divisions to carry out measurements on a voluntary basis. General requirements and procedure”;
• provision of scientific and technical assistance to enterprises and organizations of Ukraine on metrological support of analytical control of production;
• development and validation of advanced analysis methods for incoming control, processing of technological production and finished products in accordance with current international standards and product quality requirements;
• development, certification and production of standard samples of the composition and properties of substances and materials, in particular, interstate, state, standard samples of enterprises, reference materials;
• performing control and arbitration analyses;
• metrological examination of regulatory documentation, establishing metrological characteristics and validation of measurement methods;
• development of state and industry standards for measurement methods;
• participation in product certification work;
• creation of a database of measurement methods and analytical equipment of non-ferrous metallurgy enterprises of Ukraine;
• issuing recommendations for the acquisition of analytical equipment, including imported, and technical assistance in its development.
