heavy metals. Not only is XRF fast and safe,
Precision uses the exact same device that is
used by the Consumer Product Safety Council

the best possible data and accuracy.
Precision follows all guidelines for tesƟng to
comply with CPSIA standards and our tesƟng
can be used to meet the “general conformity
