We are accredited by the National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA), to carry out testing in accordance with the standards listed in our scope of accreditation. This means that NATA inspected our equipment, procedures and staff and found that our results are correct and accurate.
This is important because our test reports issued with the NATA logo are accepted by regulators, government agencies and industry members in Australia, New Zealand, China and many other countries.
We perform the majority of our work under our own accreditation, however we have accredited partner laboratories which allows us to offer wider service portfolio by outsourcing the items we cannot do ourselves.
For example, we can issue full test report to AS/NZS 1429.1 using internal and subcontracted results.
Keep in mind, even if our current scope of accreditation does not cover your needs, we are able to perform a wide range of tests and we can issue non-accredited test reports with such results in short term or expand our scope based on the requested service.
Please contact us, to find out more.
Our current scope of accreditation includes the following Australian standards:
