To ensure that its products will keep while in storage and during use, Eurovet needs to demonstrate that they will remain durable and stable in the registered packaging and under a variety of circumstances. 

To this end, we conduct stability studies under different conditions, including a variety of temperatures. Temperatures can range from refrigeration temperature to room temperature as well as higher temperatures of up to 40°C. Stability at higher temperatures is important as several of our products are exported to countries in southern Europe or Africa, where average temperatures are higher than in the Netherlands. The stability test at refrigeration temperature is more applicable to northern European countries where, after all, it is often colder than in the Netherlands.

We use a variety of climatic rooms and refrigerators to perform controlled tests of the durability of our products, in which they are subjected to a wide range of conditions:

5°C Cold room and refrigerator
25°C Climatic room
30°C Climatic room
40°C Climatic room

As the humidity is also adjustable in the climatic rooms for 25, 30 and 40°C, these rooms meet requirements by the relevant authorities for a specific degree of humidity during stability studies for these temperature ranges. In this way, the climatic rooms allow for the simulation of permanent artificial “climates”.

We continuously develop new products in a variety of packagings to better serve our customers. Expansion of our product range means that the capacity of the climatic rooms will also need to be enlarged. We are planning the construction of a new room for 25°C with twice the capacity of the current one, which itself is to be converted to a 40°C climatic room. This will represent a doubling of capacity in both the 25°C and 40°C segments.

With this doubling of capacity in place, we will once again be able to handle all requests for durability studies.
