Arson & Forensic Investigations

Statistics Canada has reported that there are typically over 12,000 criminal arson offenses committed in Canada in every year.

Testmark has been providing analytical services for arson investigators for many years. Our data support the investigative process by determining if accelerants are present in fire debris samples. Our library of chemical fingerprints enables us to frequently determine the exact product name of the accelerant used, and we have experience providing expert technical witness within the Canadian court system.

Beyond arson investigations, Testmark also provides general forensic analytical services for determining the nature of unidentified organic and inorganic parameters in a variety of industrial
or environmental applications.
