What Our Chemical Inspection Service Includes

• Incoming and Outgoing Shipment Inspection — We verify the identity, quantity, and quality of chemical shipments at the point of loading or discharge, confirming that products match purchase specifications and are accompanied by the correct documentation, including Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and certificates of analysis.
• Representative Sampling and Analysis — Using validated sampling equipment and procedures, we collect representative samples for laboratory analysis. Key parameters assessed include chemical composition, purity, concentration, pH, density, viscosity, and appearance — providing a clear quality verification against your specifications.
• Chemical Storage Inspection — Our storage inspections verify that chemical products are stored correctly — checking for contamination or degradation, confirming correct segregation from incompatible materials, validating labeling and signage accuracy, and ensuring storage conditions (temperature, ventilation, containment) meet regulatory and safety requirements.
• IMDG Code and GHS Compliance Verification — For hazardous chemical shipments, we verify compliance with the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code, GHS classification requirements, and applicable national regulations — checking packaging integrity, labeling, placarding, and documentation.
• Transport Compliance Inspection — We inspect chemical consignments during road, rail, or maritime transport to confirm safe handling, correct stowage, and regulatory compliance throughout the delivery chain.
• Tank and Intermediate Bulk Container (IBC) Inspection — For liquid chemicals transported in tanks or IBCs, we inspect container condition, seal integrity, labeling, and cleanliness before loading — reducing the risk of contamination or leakage incidents.

Why Independent Chemical Inspection Is Essential

Chemical shipments carry unique risks that go far beyond financial loss — a quality or compliance failure can create safety hazards, environmental incidents, or regulatory penalties that disrupt operations for months. Independent inspection by BES Africa provides documented evidence of compliance at every key transaction point, reducing liability for all parties. Our inspectors are trained in hazardous materials handling and hold the relevant competency certifications, ensuring that inspection activities themselves are conducted safely and in compliance with applicable safety regulations.
