AmSpec participates in the 1st Soybean Classification Meeting at the Port of Rio Grande
On June 24, 2025, AmSpec took part in the 1st Soybean Classification Meeting at the Port of Rio Grande, hosted by SINTECON (Union of Workers in Cargo Inspection and Analysis Companies of Rio Grande and São José do Norte), in Rio Grande, Brazil.
The event centered on the quality classification of soybeans—a key topic in global agri-trade. Soybeans are one of the world's most traded agricultural commodities, used in food products, animal feed, and biofuels. Ensuring their quality and consistency is critical for buyers and sellers alike.
Why is soybean classification so important?
Soybean classification is the process of grading the beans based on physical and chemical attributes that affect their usability and commercial value. This includes:
- Grain Integrity – Whole, unbroken beans are preferred for processing efficiency.
- Moisture Content – Impacts storage stability and risk of mold or spoilage.
- Impurities and Foreign Matter – Presence of leaves, sticks, or other grains reduces value.
- Damaged or Discolored Beans – Affects processing quality and oil or protein extraction.
These criteria are vital for: Export Contracts – Meeting destination country standards.
Processing Efficiency – For oil extraction or protein content.
Storage and Shelf Life – Reducing losses due to spoilage.
Fair Trade and Pricing – Providing transparency and trust between buyers and sellers.
As a global leader in testing, inspection, and certification, AmSpec ensures accurate and reliable quality assessments—supporting our clients across the agricultural supply chain and contributing to a more transparent, sustainable, and efficient market.

AmSpec Agri Romania Launches Ultrasonic Leak Detection (ULD) Testing!
Is tight really tight enough? When it comes to cargo integrity, there’s no room for compromise.
Our expert inspectors in Constanta, Romania now offer ULD testing—a precise, non-invasive method to assess the water and weather tightness of your hatch covers.
This advanced technique uses high-frequency sound waves to detect even the smallest leaks—helping reduce cargo damage, avoid delays, and minimize costly claims.
Here’s how it works: A calibrated ultrasonic emitter is placed inside the closed cargo hold, emitting high-frequency sound waves.
Our surveyor scans the hatch cover from the outside using a portable ultrasonic receiver.
If there are any breaks in the seals or structure, the sound waves escape and are detected—pinpointing potential leak points.
Why choose ULD services from AmSpec?
Non-invasive method
Highly accurate—even for minor leaks
Time and cost-efficient
Reduces operational disruptions and enhances cargo protection
Environmentally friendly—no water, no chemicals
Compliant with IMO and Classification Society standards
Clear, documented results
Need smarter, safer, and more sustainable inspection solutions? Step forward with AmSpec.
Ready to upgrade your hatch cover inspections?
Contact our team at agri.romania@amspecgroup.com—we’re here to help you safeguard your cargo with confidence.

AmSpec Group is excited to announce that our laboratory in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, now offers Crude Assay testing!
We have successfully installed the advanced PETRODIST 100S and PETRODIST 200S petroleum distillation systems at our Rio laboratory. With this cutting-edge technology and our experienced, knowledgeable personnel, AmSpec Brazil is fully equipped to provide crude assay services. Our tests are conducted in accordance with ASTM D2892 and ASTM D5236, as well as recognized industry standards for testing oil fractions.
A crude assay is a comprehensive analysis of the physical and chemical properties of crude oil, including the boiling range fractions from the oil distillation process. This important information helps refiners and traders make informed decisions regarding crude oil and crude oil blends, ultimately optimizing both profits and the refining process.
In Brazil, the boiling range fractions generated from crude assay testing are mandatory for oil custody transfers, as outlined in Resolution ANP/Inmetro 1/2013. Furthermore, RANP 874/2022 establishes pricing criteria for oil based on crude assay results.
Contact our local team today at RJ.OGC@amspecgroup.com to schedule your next crude assay. We look forward to helping your business grow!

June 7 is recognized as World Food Safety Day.
Each year, unsafe food causes over 600 million cases of foodborne illness globally. That’s almost 1 in 10 people falling ill from what they eat. These risks are not only a public health concern — they’re a barrier to sustainable development, food security, and global trade.
This year’s theme, “Food Safety: Science in Action,” shines a spotlight on the scientific expertise that powers prevention: Testing for microbiological, chemical, and physical contaminants
Monitoring supply chains for traceability and transparency
Validating safety through lab analysis and field inspections
Reducing risk before it reaches consumers or causes market disruption
What does food safety mean to us?
Hear directly from AmSpec’s Food Safety & Authenticity Services Manager, Dr Imran Khan , as he shares his thoughts on food safety, food security, and the role science plays in global supply chains. This World Food Safety Day, we call on the industry, regulators, and consumers alike to recognize that safe food doesn’t happen by chance — it happens by design, through science, and with shared responsibility.

Buckle up! AmSpec is proud to support Team Taz – Car 28 in the 2025 Rhino Charge race—Kenya’s toughest off-road competition, with a mission that goes far beyond the finish line.
What began in 2005 as a last-minute adventure for Torben Rune has become a cherished tradition. Every year, Team Taz—an international crew of friends—races not just for the thrill, but to raise funds for a cause close to their hearts: Rhino Ark.
Rhino Ark Kenya Charitable Trust is a Kenyan charitable trust dedicated to protecting endangered species, such as the black rhino, and conserving critical ecosystems. Their flagship achievement is constructing an electric fence around the Aberdare Conservation Area to prevent poaching, human-wildlife conflict, and illegal logging. Their impact now extends across forest protection, community engagement, and biodiversity conservation, including programs like the Bongo Surveillance Project.
In 2025, Team Taz is aiming to raise $10,000, and AmSpec is proud to support their mission.

AmSpec participates in the 1st Soybean Classification Meeting at the Port of Rio Grande
On June 24, 2025, AmSpec took part in the 1st Soybean Classification Meeting at the Port of Rio Grande, hosted by SINTECON (Union of Workers in Cargo Inspection and Analysis Companies of Rio Grande and São José do Norte), in Rio Grande, Brazil.
The event centered on the quality classification of soybeans—a key topic in global agri-trade. Soybeans are one of the world's most traded agricultural commodities, used in food products, animal feed, and biofuels. Ensuring their quality and consistency is critical for buyers and sellers alike.
Why is soybean classification so important?
Soybean classification is the process of grading the beans based on physical and chemical attributes that affect their usability and commercial value. This includes:
- Grain Integrity – Whole, unbroken beans are preferred for processing efficiency.
- Moisture Content – Impacts storage stability and risk of mold or spoilage.
- Impurities and Foreign Matter – Presence of leaves, sticks, or other grains reduces value.
- Damaged or Discolored Beans – Affects processing quality and oil or protein extraction.
These criteria are vital for: Export Contracts – Meeting destination country standards.
Processing Efficiency – For oil extraction or protein content.
Storage and Shelf Life – Reducing losses due to spoilage.
Fair Trade and Pricing – Providing transparency and trust between buyers and sellers.
As a global leader in testing, inspection, and certification, AmSpec ensures accurate and reliable quality assessments—supporting our clients across the agricultural supply chain and contributing to a more transparent, sustainable, and efficient market.

Testing Services Upgrade at AmSpec Agri Webster, TX!
We’re proud to announce enhanced capabilities at our Webster, Texas laboratory, now fully equipped for MOSH/MOAH/POSH testing. What are MOSH, MOAH, and POSH?
These are mineral oil hydrocarbons—substances that can unintentionally migrate into food and edible oils during production and packaging.
- MOSH (Mineral Oil Saturated Hydrocarbons) may accumulate in human tissue.
- MOAH (Mineral Oil Aromatic Hydrocarbons) are considered potentially carcinogenic.
- POSH (Polyolefin Oligomeric Saturated Hydrocarbons) often migrate from plastic packaging. Why it matters:
Testing for these contaminants is critical to ensure consumer safety, meet regulatory standards, and maintain brand integrity in the global food supply chain. Our Technology and Quality Excellence:
+ Leader in agriculture & food TIC services
+ State-of-the-art gas chromatography technology

AmSpec Agri Romania Launches Ultrasonic Leak Detection (ULD) Testing!
Is tight really tight enough? When it comes to cargo integrity, there’s no room for compromise.
Our expert inspectors in Constanta, Romania now offer ULD testing—a precise, non-invasive method to assess the water and weather tightness of your hatch covers.
This advanced technique uses high-frequency sound waves to detect even the smallest leaks—helping reduce cargo damage, avoid delays, and minimize costly claims.
Here’s how it works: A calibrated ultrasonic emitter is placed inside the closed cargo hold, emitting high-frequency sound waves.
Our surveyor scans the hatch cover from the outside using a portable ultrasonic receiver.
If there are any breaks in the seals or structure, the sound waves escape and are detected—pinpointing potential leak points.
Why choose ULD services from AmSpec?
Non-invasive method
Highly accurate—even for minor leaks
Time and cost-efficient
Reduces operational disruptions and enhances cargo protection
Environmentally friendly—no water, no chemicals
Compliant with IMO and Classification Society standards
Clear, documented results
Need smarter, safer, and more sustainable inspection solutions? Step forward with AmSpec.
Ready to upgrade your hatch cover inspections?
Contact our team at agri.romania@amspecgroup.com—we’re here to help you safeguard your cargo with confidence.

AmSpec Group is excited to announce that our laboratory in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, now offers Crude Assay testing!
We have successfully installed the advanced PETRODIST 100S and PETRODIST 200S petroleum distillation systems at our Rio laboratory. With this cutting-edge technology and our experienced, knowledgeable personnel, AmSpec Brazil is fully equipped to provide crude assay services. Our tests are conducted in accordance with ASTM D2892 and ASTM D5236, as well as recognized industry standards for testing oil fractions.
A crude assay is a comprehensive analysis of the physical and chemical properties of crude oil, including the boiling range fractions from the oil distillation process. This important information helps refiners and traders make informed decisions regarding crude oil and crude oil blends, ultimately optimizing both profits and the refining process.
In Brazil, the boiling range fractions generated from crude assay testing are mandatory for oil custody transfers, as outlined in Resolution ANP/Inmetro 1/2013. Furthermore, RANP 874/2022 establishes pricing criteria for oil based on crude assay results.
Contact our local team today at RJ.OGC@amspecgroup.com to schedule your next crude assay. We look forward to helping your business grow!

June 7 is recognized as World Food Safety Day.
Each year, unsafe food causes over 600 million cases of foodborne illness globally. That’s almost 1 in 10 people falling ill from what they eat. These risks are not only a public health concern — they’re a barrier to sustainable development, food security, and global trade.
This year’s theme, “Food Safety: Science in Action,” shines a spotlight on the scientific expertise that powers prevention: Testing for microbiological, chemical, and physical contaminants
Monitoring supply chains for traceability and transparency
Validating safety through lab analysis and field inspections
Reducing risk before it reaches consumers or causes market disruption
What does food safety mean to us?
Hear directly from AmSpec’s Food Safety & Authenticity Services Manager, Dr Imran Khan , as he shares his thoughts on food safety, food security, and the role science plays in global supply chains. This World Food Safety Day, we call on the industry, regulators, and consumers alike to recognize that safe food doesn’t happen by chance — it happens by design, through science, and with shared responsibility.
