Adsorbent and Filter (Charcoal) Testing
ECBC Engineering’s charcoal testing has been conducted at ECBC for more than 75 years. Due to the threat and use of chemical agents, testing the integrity of charcoal for protective materials and filters is one of ECBC’s primary missions. Charcoal testing is ISO/IEC 17025 accredited and complies with Military Certification Testing.
