THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT US

"This is a seminal moment in Australia as, for the first time, a commercial laboratory has invested the capital and human resources to install and operate a Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) with required ancillary systems to meet international technical and quality system standards for asbestos testing. Also, historic; this is a first for the accreditation provider. Since NATA is an ILAC MRA employing the ISO17025:2017 laboratory standard, and as they seek to set a precedent of quality compliance, it is especially important that the assessment meet the expectations of, not only NATA, but the greater international community who engage and operate under the same international laboratory standards for quality and performance."
