CD BioSicences is a leading expert in the field and is committed to providing high-quality USDA standard testing services to meet the diverse needs of the industry.

Overview of Standard Analysis

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) plays a critical role in ensuring quality, accuracy, and compliance. As part of its commitment to promoting sustainable practices and supporting the growth of the biobased industry, USDA offers a range of standard testing services. These test methods are designed to evaluate relevant parameters for a variety of products, including bio-based products, biofuels, fuel gases, natural ingredients, radiocarbon dating and spent fuels. By utilizing these standardized tests, manufacturers, researchers, and regulatory agencies can ensure the accuracy of product claims, compliance with regulations, and proper labeling of biobased products.

Ensuring Accuracy and Consistency

The USDA has established a range of standard testing methods that are widely recognized and accepted in the industry. These methods provide consistent and reliable results, facilitating fair trade and effective regulation. Some commonly used USDA standard testing methods include:

ASTM D6866

Determination of biobased content of solid, liquid, and gaseous samples by radiocarbon analysis. This method measures the percentage of bio-based carbon in a product, allowing manufacturers to accurately quantify and label their products.

Other ASTM Methods

USDA also recognizes other ASTM methods for different types of biobased products, covering chemical composition, physical properties, and performance characteristics. It also supports ASTM soil classification and NSL laboratory testing.

ISO 17025 Certification

To ensure the accuracy and reliability of USDA standard testing, laboratories must obtain ISO 17025 certification. This internationally recognized accreditation demonstrates a laboratory's competence, impartiality and ability to deliver valid and reliable results.
