IAQ Research and Development Overview
Airmid Healthgroup acts as a seamless extension of your in-house IAQ research and development capabilities.
We use customised and standardised test methods to assess products and services for their impact on air quality and human health — answering technical questions, accelerating innovation cycles, and helping you reach market with confidence.
Whether you are at the early prototype stage or preparing data for regulatory submission, we add scientific rigour to every step of the R&D process. Our GLP-compliant, ISO 17025-accredited laboratories are equipped to generate the data you need — reliably, repeatably, and to a standard recognised by both the US EPA and US FDA.
Safety, quality, labelling and compliance are as important as speed to market. Health-related claims, ingredient disclosures and marketing materials are subject to increasing regulatory scrutiny, and retailers and procurement teams are more risk-aware than ever. The best way to substantiate a claim and protect your organisation’s reputation is through independent, third-party testing.
We enhance the quality and reputation of your R&D programme — and reduce your risk.
We help you with:
- Accelerated innovation cycles and faster prototype iteration
- Reduced R&D costs through outsourced laboratory capability
- Faster time to market for new product innovations
- Reputational protection, insurance and risk management
- Environmental data capture and health-related field studies
- Bio-monitoring, modelling and human exposure assessments
- Health-related claims substantiation and third-party validation
ISO 17025 Accreditation & Regulatory Compliance
Airmid Healthgroup offers high-quality testing, inspection, compliance and certification services aligned with several major regulatory frameworks. Our laboratories are routinely audited by external bodies to ensure that your data is reliable, repeatable, and scientifically defensible. We meet the requirements for submission to both the US EPA and the US FDA.
Whether you are conducting early-stage R&D or require GLP testing to support a 510(k) submission, our team can scope a testing programme that meets your regulatory and commercial timelines.
Good Laboratory Practices (GLP)
The Good Laboratory Practices were enacted as law in 1978 to ensure that all data submitted to federal regulatory agencies is performed safely and reliably. The GLPs require that studies are conducted by qualified personnel, in well-maintained facilities, with appropriate materials and calibrated equipment. Experiments must be properly designed, documented with clear and complete records, overseen by an independent Quality Assurance Unit, and safely archived for audit and inspection by regulatory agents.
EPA Good Laboratory Practices
EPA GLP ensures the quality and integrity of test data submitted to the Environmental Protection Agency. The EPA writes regulations, provides guidance, reviews submitted data, inspects for compliance, registers toxic materials, and enforces legal action for violations. Airmid Healthgroup’s testing services are conducted in strict accordance with EPA GLP regulations, ensuring clients receive results that are both reliable and recognised by the Agency.
FDA Good Laboratory Practices
FDA GLP prescribes good laboratory practices for conducting nonclinical laboratory studies that support — or are intended to support — applications for research or marketing permits for products regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. This programme supports customers requesting a GLP assessment. Note that the FDA does not itself issue a certificate of GLP compliance; Airmid Healthgroup’s documentation and quality assurance processes are designed to withstand FDA inspection.
All Airmid Healthgroup testing services are conducted in strict accordance with FDA and EPA guidelines and cGLP (current Good Laboratory Practice) regulations, ensuring our clients receive results that are both reliable and recognised by regulatory bodies worldwide.
