Quality workflow

How we check
quality

Five checkpoints from material selection to batch release, each tied to parameters agreed with you on the reference sample.

The workflow

Five checkpoints

01

Material selection

Confirm the charcoal source, binder and any additives.
02

Forming and drying

Agree dimensions, density and moisture requirements.
03

Laboratory checks

Verify ash, moisture, carbon and other agreed parameters.
04

Application testing

Assess heat, ignition, ash and handling in use.
05

Batch review

Confirm the agreed checks before releasing a batch.

Laboratory parameters

Quality parameters checked for each batch
Parameter	Basis	Why it matters
Ash	dry basis	Residue left after burning. Matters for shisha bowls and grill cleaning.
Moisture	as received	Affects ignition, weight and stability in transit.
Fixed carbon	dry basis	Indicates steady, long-lasting heat.
Volatile matter	dry basis	Linked to smoke and odour during ignition.
Gross calorific value	dry basis	Total heat potential in kcal/kg.
Dimensions & density	per agreed format	Cube size, shape and handling strength.

Specifications for each grade are listed on the product pages. Read more in our guide How to read shisha charcoal specifications.
