PSL Systemtechnik expands its involvement in DIN standardization

PSL Systemtechnik is expanding its involvement in standardization work. Since July 2026, the company has been represented on an additional DIN working committee, where it is contributing its expertise in the development and application of precision laboratory testing technology.

New Member of the DIN Plastics Standards Committee

Since July 2026, PSL Systemtechnik has been participating in theDIN working committee NA 054-04-04 AA, “Plastic Films and Plastic-Coated Sheet Materials (Artificial Leather); General Properties”. The working committee is part of the DIN Plastics Standards Committee (FNK).

This involvement expands PSL’s existing standardization efforts to include an additional area of application. The technical background is the development of the fogging tester system, which will soon be offered under the PSL Labtec brand.

For PSL Systemtechnik, the primary focus is on its comprehensive expertise in developing reliable, reproducible, and practical laboratory testing methods.

Why Standardization Is Important

Consistent and Reproducible Test Methods

Technical standards define test conditions, measurement procedures, and the evaluation of results. This ensures that measurements are traceable and that results are more easily comparable across laboratories and locations.

Collaboration Between Industry, Research, and Instrument Manufacturers

Standardization committees bring together diverse technical and practical requirements. This results in test procedures that are technically sound and feasible in the laboratory.

Experience from Instrument Development and Laboratory Practice

PSL contributes experience gained from the development of laboratory instruments and from practical measurements. This includes test procedures, measurement conditions, data evaluation, and reproducibility.

Long-standing Participation in DIN and ASTM

PSL Systemtechnik has been actively involved for many years in national and international standards committees for the petroleum, natural gas, and petrochemical industries.

Participation in DIN Working Groups

Within the DIN Standards Committee for Oil and Natural Gas Production (NĂ–G), PSL participates in working groups on equipment and materials, as well as on drilling fluids, fluids, and cements. Among others, DIN lists the NA 109-00-01 AA Working Committee and its subcommittees there.

Participation in ASTM Committee D02

In addition, PSL is active in ASTM Committee D02 on Petroleum Products, Liquid Fuels, and Lubricants. The committee develops and maintains standards and test methods for petroleum products, liquid fuels, and lubricants.
