In today's fast-moving mining, industrial and commodity markets, reliable analytical information is essential for making timely and informed decisions. From fertilizers and ores to minerals, petroleum products and agricultural commodities, every material presents its own testing, sampling and quality requirements.
At SGS Egypt, our Mineral Laboratory combines technical expertise, advanced analytical capabilities and controlled quality processes to provide reliable results across a diverse range of materials and applications.
From fertilizers to ores: one laboratory, diverse materials
The SGS Egypt Mineral Laboratory works with a broad range of materials, including:
- Urea and other fertilizers
- Phosphate fertilizers and NPK
- Phosphate rock
- Iron ore
- Coal
- Salt
- Raw sulfur
- Petroleum products
- Grains and cereals
- Animal feed
- Other industrial and agricultural materials
Each material has different characteristics, including chemical composition, moisture, particle size, homogeneity and sampling requirements. Our experienced teams select appropriate sampling, preparation and analytical procedures according to the material and applicable testing methods.
Advanced analysis and reliable results
Accurate analysis is at the heart of effective quality control and commercial decision-making.
Our laboratory provides a wide range of chemical and physical analyses to support quality control, commercial transactions, process monitoring, product evaluation and research and development.
Depending on the material and applicable analytical method, our capabilities include determining major, minor and trace chemical elements, alongside relevant quality parameters.
From nutrient analysis in fertilizers to the characterization of phosphate rock, iron ore, coal, salt, sulfur, petroleum products, grains, cereals and animal feed, our laboratory transforms complex material characteristics into reliable analytical information.
Behind every result is a controlled process that includes appropriate sampling and preparation, suitable analytical methods, modern instrumentation, experienced personnel, quality-control procedures, accurate data interpretation and reporting.
Quality you can trust: ISO/IEC 17025 and GAFTA
Quality and technical competence are fundamental to reliable laboratory testing.
The SGS Egypt Mineral Laboratory is accredited to ISO/IEC 17025, the internationally recognized standard for laboratory competence and reliable testing.
The laboratory has also obtained GAFTA certification, supporting its analytical services for agricultural commodities and international commodity trading.
Together with qualified technical personnel, advanced instrumentation and controlled procedures, these recognized quality frameworks strengthen confidence in the laboratory's analytical services.
