About this file

This document is a laboratory accreditation certificate issued by IAS (International Accreditation Service) for Testing Laboratory TL-### operated by the US Forest Service Wildland Fire Chemical Systems Program located in Missoula, Montana. The accreditation certifies that the laboratory has met AC89 IAS Accreditation Criteria for Testing Laboratories and demonstrated compliance with ISO/IEC Standard 17025:2017 for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories, effective April 7, 2028.

The laboratory is accredited to conduct chemical testing on wildland fire retardant products, water enhancers, and foam products across multiple determinants and analytes. Accredited test methods include combustion retarding effectiveness (STP-2.1), product preparation and mixing (STP-3.1-3), density (STP-4.3), pH (STP-4.4), viscosity (STP-4.5), marsh funnel testing (STP-4.6), compatibility (STP-4.7), and corrosion testing including uniform corrosion (STP-5.1), galvanic corrosion (STP-5.5), and crevice corrosion (STP-5.6). Additional accredited methods address non-metallic material effects (STP-5.3), digital microscope analysis (STP-5.7), and foam-specific properties including lateral ignition and flame spread (STP-2.2), wetting ability (STP-8.2), foaming ability (STP-8.3), expansion and drainage (STP-8.4), and miscibility (STP-8.5). The primary contact is Bryon Lake at 406-829-6814. Additional information is available through the Wildland Fire Chemical Systems Program website.
