Hello and welcome to this personal update post. I am pleased to announce that I have officially obtained my ISO/IEC 17024 Expert Witness certification specializing in plastics and plastic products.

Why does ISO/IEC 17024 matter in 2026?
The complexity of polymer science and engineering is increasingly at the heart of high-stakes litigation—from IP disputes and product liability to the emerging legal challenges of the circular economy.
The ISO/IEC 17024 represents an international gold standard for technical competence and—most importantly—procedural objectivity. In an era where expert testimony is under microscopic scrutiny, I provide a defensible, audited methodology to every case.
My Core Focus Areas:
- Plastics Failure Analysis & Root Cause (ESCR, Fatigue, Degradation)
- Intellectual Property & Patent Disputes
- Product Liability & Personal Injury
- Specialized Niche: Liability and failures in Recycled Plastics (PCR/PIR) including processing analysis (extrusion and injection molding).
Whether you are in the discovery phase or need an early-stage technical viability assessment, my goal is to bridge the gap between complex material science and the requirements of the court.
What's next?
Step by step I will roll out my dedicated Plastics Expert Witness landing page, and I am developing a "Case Viability Scorecard" which helps you to determine if your case is a fit for me - stay tuned.
My certification is valid for five years and can be online checked at the EUCert via this link.
If you want to get in contact with me to discuss your case you can reach me here too
