Scientific Validation for Trade and Quality Assurance
Sampling and analytical testing are essential for verifying the true characteristics of traded goods. BQCIS experts collect and test representative samples following ISO, ASTM, and GAFTA standards to confirm quality, grade, and chemical composition.
Whether for metals, minerals, food, or fuels, our network of accredited laboratories provides reliable and traceable analytical results, ensuring your trade decisions are backed by scientific evidence.
Our inspection and testing protocols comply with international codes to minimize sampling bias, ensure chain-of-custody integrity, and produce defensible reports for commercial or regulatory submission.

Success Story
Precise Sampling Prevents Grade Misclassification
A mining exporter faced rejection of copper concentrate shipments in China due to conflicting assay reports from multiple parties.
BQCIS performed third-party sampling at the port of loading, followed ISO 12743 procedures, and ensured analysis was conducted at an accredited laboratory.
The final BQCIS analytical report was accepted by both buyer and seller, saving over $500,000 in potential trade deductions and preventing shipment delay.
