These Life Science students learnt General Toxicology in the first semester. After that, they went to visit a local 3rd-party testing laboratory called TUV Rheinland HK in Tsuen Wan. In this photo, they were learning the background of testing and certification industry. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They arrived at the entrance of the XRF lab, which checks the toxic heavy metal levels in electrical and electronic products.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Then, they followed the staff to reach the GC-MS and LC-MS lab where there are nearly a hundred chromatographs working 7\/24 to check the toxic organic substances in consumer products such as toys and juvenile products, and textile and garments.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

TUV Rheinland HK also provides testing services on Toys and Juvenile Products. This picture shows a staff following a European standard method to check the \"small parts\" and \"sharp points\" for a juvenile product.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Students found it interesting in the acoustic test on a toy car. This test is to measure the noise levels as received by a child. The room is surrounded by soft wall covering.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At last, they came to the electrical lab where they learned how batteries are being tested for electrical safety according to standard methods.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At the end, some of the students decided to apply for the summer internship offered by government recogised third-party testing labs.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
