Measure the proportion of renewable raw materials in your formulations and certify their biobased origin.
Determine the biobased content of your fuels and quantify biogenic emissions in line with environmental standards.
Check the authenticity and natural composition of your products to meet the requirements of eco-labels and consumers.
Radiocarbon analysis of industrial products can be used to detect adulteration by the addition of synthetic products, and to verify manufacturing or extraction processes. This method quantifies the percentage of natural ingredients and guarantees the integrity of biobased materials.
The study of stable isotopes also makes it possible to determine the geographical and botanical origin of products such as coffee or meat, and to authenticate products from organic farming.

Radiocarbon analysis quantifies the bio-based portion of biofuels relative to their fossil-based portion. CIRAM supports applies the (ASTM D6866 ensure that biofuels comply with regulatory and environmental requirements, thereby guaranteeing their traceability and certification.
Read moreRadiocarbon analysis measures the proportion of biogenic carbon in biogas and industrial flue gases. This measurement is essential for certifying the renewable origin of biogas and quantifying the proportion of biomass burned in industrial processes.
CIRAM uses (ASTM D6866 and NF EN ISO 13833, etc. standards to guarantee compliance with environmental regulations and ensure traceability of energy sources as part of its transition to sustainable energies.
Read moreOur experts assess the biogenic carbon content of your biopolymers and bioplastics using the radiocarbon dating. CIRAM applies the the (ASTM D6866 and ISO 16620-2… to certify the bio-based content of materials.
This analysis is essential for obtaining eco-labels, such as OK Biobased and DIN CERTCO, which certify the renewable origin of bioplastics and facilitate their integration into the sustainable market.
CIRAM was also approved by TUV AUSTRIA in 2024.
Read moreFrom insulation panels and flooring to furnishings, our laboratory examines and assesses the biobased content of all building materials.
The 2020 Environmental Regulations (RE 2020) designate bio-based materials as priority solutions for new construction. To ensure their certification (particularly the Karibati label) and assist manufacturers in validating their eco-friendly materials, CIRAM applies the the standards that and EN 16785 standards.
Read moreRadiocarbon analysis assesses the proportion of biogenic carbon in solid recovered fuels, whether gaseous, liquid or solid.
This method allows for the precise measurement of the proportion of CO₂ derived from biomass compared to that from fossil fuel sources. CIRAM applies the NF EN ISO 21644 standard to ensure that CSR materials comply with environmental requirements and to optimize their energy recovery.
Read moreCIRAM analyzes the proportion of biobased products in cosmetics active ingredients and excipients.
We study raw materials, formulations and finished products using radiocarbon testing. This analysis applies to all levels of production, from R&D to the final product, to guarantee an optimal percentage of naturalness and help brands obtain certification attesting to a composition that respects ecological standards.
Read moreVisit bio-based detergents and surfactants are increasingly in demand to limit the environmental impact of cleaning products. Radiocarbon dating allows for the verification of the proportion of biologically sourced carbon in these formulations.
CIRAM applies theASTM D6866 (ASTM D6866 and standards that to certify compliance with environmental requirements and support the attainment of certifications that highlight environmentally friendly products.
Read moreVisit bio-based paints and pigments are developing to meet the requirements of environmental regulations and consumer expectations. CIRAM assesses the biogenic carbon content in these products to guarantee their composition and compliance with bio-based labels.
Using radiocarbon dating and the standards that and EN 16785 standards, we help manufacturers certify their paints and pigments by highlighting their bio-based content.
Read moreCIRAM supports ensures the quality of its analyses of bio-based products by adhering to the following international standards:
This set of standards certifies the quality and expertise of our laboratory dedicated to the analysis of biobased products.
The food industry, biofuels, biogas, biopolymers and packaging, construction materials, solid recovered fuels, cosmetics, detergents and surfactants, paints and pigments are particularly concerned by the verification of the biobased part.
The main standards include (ASTM D6866, standards that, standard, NF EN ISO 13833, etc., ISO 16620-2…, and EN 16785, which provide a framework for quantifying bio-based carbon using rigorous methods.
Yes, our analyses enable us to obtain certifications such as OK Biobased, DIN CERTCO, or eco-labels specific to bio-based materials. CIRAM has been accredited by TÜV AUSTRIA since 2024.
Time depends on the technique used and the type of object. Our analysis times range from 5 to 10 working days.
