Revol LIMS delivers automated Certificate of Analysis generation, end-to-end batch traceability from raw material receipt to finished product release, real-time SPC/SQC process control, and built-in compliance across ISO 17025, ASTM, API, GLP, REACH, and EPA frameworks — in one platform.
Chemical and petrochemical laboratories operate under a combination of production pressures and quality obligations that few other industries match. Whether your lab serves a speciality chemicals manufacturer, a petroleum refinery, a polymer plant, or an agrochemical operation, three challenges define the environment:
Revol LIMS maintains a complete, unbroken batch genealogy from the moment a raw material lot is received through every intermediate test stage to the finished product CoA — so any quality event can be traced forward and backwards across the supply chain in minutes.
Certificates of Analysis are generated directly from verified instrument data the moment a batch is released — using configurable, customer-specific templates. No manual compilation, no transcription risk, no format discrepancies between what was tested and what was reported.
In-process quality control is more than a compliance exercise in a chemical plant — it is a production optimisation tool. Revol LIMS integrates real-time SPC/SQC charting with automated OOS and OOT detection and configurable CAPA initiation, giving QC teams and production managers a shared view of process quality before it becomes a release problem.
Chemical and petrochemical laboratories carry compliance obligations that span product quality standards, environmental discharge regulations, worker safety frameworks, and international chemical substance regulations simultaneously. Revol LIMS consolidates all of these into a single, audit-ready platform.
Across speciality chemical manufacturers, petroleum refineries, polymer plants, and agrochemical operations, laboratory teams face the same recurring operational and compliance bottlenecks:
Compiling customer-specific Certificates of Analysis from instrument exports, spreadsheets, and shared drives consumes hours per batch. Each manual step introduces transcription risk, specification mismatch exposure, and delivery delay that scale destructively across high-volume product portfolios.
Inability to trace a finished product batch back through every intermediate production stage to the originating raw material lot makes recall investigations, customer quality disputes, and regulatory inspections time-consuming, expensive, and legally exposed.
Process quality control charts maintained in spreadsheets or standalone software miss early warning signals. By the time an out-of-control condition is visible to the QC team, off-spec product may already be in downstream processing, blending, or customer delivery pipelines.
Managing dozens of customer-specific specification sets, reporting unit expressions, CoA formats, and delivery protocols in spreadsheets or shared folders fails every time a specification is updated, a new customer is onboarded, or a product grade changes — creating release errors and customer complaints.
GC-FID, GC-MS, ICP-OES, FTIR, Karl Fischer titrators, viscometers, and XRF systems producing results in isolation require manual re-entry into LIMS or spreadsheets. Every transcription step adds error, delay, and data integrity risk.
Managing environmental monitoring datasets, REACH substance registration updates, SARA reporting thresholds, and EPA method documentation across multiple lab locations manually creates version-control failures, missed deadlines, and inspection-readiness gaps.
Chemical and petrochemical testing laboratories carry compliance obligations spanning product quality accreditation, environmental regulation, international chemical substance law, and process safety management — often simultaneously across multiple geographic markets. Revol LIMS is built on internationally recognised compliance frameworks, ensuring your laboratory remains audit-ready at every level.

For chemical and petrochemical testing laboratories, ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation is the mark of technical competence and analytical integrity. Whether your lab characterises crude oil and refined petroleum products, tests industrial chemicals against ASTM or IP method specifications, or validates process samples for quality control, accreditation bodies demand rigorous data integrity, end-to-end traceability, and fully documented quality management processes. Revol LIMS comes with a built-in Quality Management System (QMS) designed to help chemical and petrochemical labs satisfy ISO 17025 requirements and remain inspection-ready at all times.
