Any colledge/uni/polytech type institution that offers polymer science degree courses should have the capability and probably the interest.

We just want to know the contractor has used epoxy and not cheaper, p.e. ortoph. resin.

So use some fire; if material will soften and start to flow it´s not epoxy.

There are more than one type of thermoset. Also when in a composite it is harder to analysis the resin used. two options are performance based tests or chemical analysis. As these resins tend to be quite chemically resistant, analysis with sophisticated machines is required.
