About the chemical laboratory of Iran Ferrosilice Company
The chemical laboratory of Iran Ferrosilice has been operational since 1995, coinciding with the establishment of the factory. Specializing in chemical analysis of ferroalloys, metal minerals, and carbon materials, the laboratory conducts internal tests and serves as a trusted authority for testing these items.
In a bid to enhance customer satisfaction and elevate the quality of testing procedures, the laboratory has resolved to establish and implement a Laboratory Qualification Certification System. This system is based on the international standard ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and incorporates best professional practices.
So, the laboratory prioritizes the following initiatives to enhance its performance:
- Enhancing employee awareness and compliance with test requirements and management system standards.
- Soliciting and promptly addressing customer feedback and complaints, ensuring timely and suitable responses.
- Expanding and refining the scope of laboratory activities related to testing through research and equipment acquisition.
- Employing qualified personnel in the laboratory to ensure precise and accurate test performance.
Iran Ferrosilice Chemical Laboratory is committed to providing the necessary resources and facilities to fulfill its goals and meet the requirements of these standards and to continuously improve the effectiveness of the laboratory management system, and all laboratory employees are required to familiarize themselves with the documentation. Familiarize yourself with the laboratory management system and apply it in your work.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to request sample analysis?
send a letter to the management of the factory, detailing the nature, number, and code of the samples, along with the required analytical items and comprehensive information about the applicant company/person. Upon receipt of your request, we will issue a proforma invoice outlining the test costs. Once the payment is made, we will prioritize the analysis of your samples.
Where to send samples for analysis?
Samples should be sent to the factory address in Semnan after arrangements have been made and fees have been paid through Tipax, postal service, or in person.
How long does analysis take?
Analysis time varies based on the number of samples and requested items, typically ranging between 5 and 25 days per monet after payment of test fees and sample submission.
How much sample should be sent?
For determining the coefficient of adhesion and thermal stability in silica rock, lump samples weighing 5 to 7 kg with dimensions of 140-40 mm are required. For other lump samples, 2.5-3 kg is sufficient, while powder samples should weigh 100-200 g.
What does the test costs?
Test costs vary depending on sample type and requested analyses, as detailed in the laboratory capabilities list.
Who handles technical inquiries?
The Technical Director of the laboratory addresses technical questions and provides work instructions.
What methods analyze Ferrosilicon??
Silicon determination in Ferrosilicon is conducted using chemical methods, while other analyses employ mechanical methods.
How are test results delivered?
Test results are transmitted via fax or email.
How long are samples stored?
Samples weighing a maximum of 60 grams are archived for three months from receipt date; any remaining samples are discarded. If sample return is required, the laboratory must be notified and samples returned within one week.
Does the laboratory interpret results?
The laboratory bears no responsibility for result interpretation.
