Coal boom brings new opportunities for sampling and testing industry

摘要

The coal market is proving to be a lucrative one for suppliers of coal sampling and testing systems and services. This relatively unsung corner of the coal trade offers lucrative opportunities for players with the will and the resources to exploit them. The last 20 years have seen an explosion in the application of quality standards, internally and between trading partners, throughout the commercial world. Producers, processors, transporters and consumers of energy products have been no exception as internationally accepted standards under the auspices of ASTM, DIN, ISO and others have increasingly won recognition between trading partners.
