Integrated Paper Services (IPS) Testing, an independent testing lab for the paper and pulp, packaging, nonwovens, personal care products, medical supplies and allied industries has recently got ISO certification to test diaper and incontinence products.

The company can now test the products according to methods that include rate of acquisition, rewet, breathability, retention capacity, and elasticity.

Chris Reitmeyer, vice president of IPS Testing said, “This type of testing is important as it is designed to quantify key performance measures of incontinence products such as retention capacity. Doing these tests helps ensure that customers are receiving a quality product and that purchasers are receiving good value.”

IPS Testing’s expansion of the ISO 17025 scope to include incontinence product testing will also be beneficial for National Brand Equivalency (NBE) purposes. NBE testing is performed for retailers to help in the selection of suppliers for store brands, IPS said in a statement.

Founded in 1989, IPS Testing has been evaluating absorbent products for many years and chose to pursue ISO certification to assist the efforts of the National Association for Continence (NAFC) as well as the manufacturers that target the institutional market to ensure minimum performance standards for incontinence products are met via standardized testing.
