What is Pops certification?

Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) Testing. The control of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) is increasingly being emphasized. Internationally, the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants, a global treaty, was adopted on May 22, 2001, aiming to protect human health and the environment from the hazards of persistent organic pollutants.
