We strongly believe their accreditation provides the formal recognition that PoCT produces reliable, technical results. NATA accreditation is both nationally and internationally recognised. The Global Accreditation Cooperation Incorporated has become Global ACI the next evolution of the single international body uniting ILAC and IAF. In 2020, Approval Specialists P/L and Austest Laboratories became part of the Phenna Group, a UK based Group of specialist businesses focused on the Testing, Inspection, Certification, and Compliance (TICC) Sector. Contact Test Australia for truly independent assessment with NATA-accredited laboratory analysis -- results you can trust because no one has a financial interest in the outcom
Don't risk your insurance claim, legal case, or property transaction with biased or non-accredited testing. More importantly, you get truly unbiased results -- which is priceless when making decisions about your property. NATA accreditation involves ongoing assessment, not just a one-time audit. ISO certification typically covers management systems and processes, while NATA accreditation specifically assesses technical competence in testing and calibration. This eliminates any possibility of bias and ensures our results are truly objective.

(Reference must be made to the manufacturer’s technical data sheet for instructions on use of particular products.) This test measures the membrane’s ability to elongate and recover over repeated cycles, simulating conditions you would expect the membrane to undergo during its service life. Superficially, a material with 800 % ultimate elongation looks far superior to another with 300 % elongation. However, the elongation value, taken in isolation, is often misleading. An elastic material deforms when a force is applied to it. Widely used in the manufacturing, construction and materials research industries, tensile strength testing is crucial to understand material performance parameters prior to specification, production and installation.

However, classification alone doesn’t indicate overall quality—a high-performing membrane is one that meets all the relevant testing criteria outlined in the standard. Wow, no wonder there’s so many waterproofing issues and "membrane breakdown" do you know if Aus standards are the same? So when you want to test the longer term performance of something in a really short time, you add heat. Many of these tests are done in less than a week, but as Grayson Wagner (GW)(see report below) comments, Waterproofing Membranes for External Use Above Ground Testing it's the long term absorption that is important and interesting to us. There are reams and reams of standards used to verify the water absorption rates which are acceptable for different membrane
These standards rely on robust accreditation to ensure they are applied consistently and effectively in practice. As the nation’s leading, independent standards body, Standards Australia defines, develops and maintains Australian Standards® that support safety, quality, and innovation. In addition, NMI’s NATA accreditation assists our strategically important partners such the Federal and State Government departments of Agriculture, Health and Environment. Importantly, our accreditation and the processes followed provide superior patient health outcomes for patients. This includes wide brand recognition, industry influence and trust within the broader community.
Professional Reporting
We provide product and system performance data that satisfies the "fit for purpose" documentation requirements of the Australian Building Code (BCA), the National Construction Code (NCC) and Australian Paint Approval Scheme specifications (APAS). ITA is committed to providing professional material Waterproofing Membranes for External Use Above Ground Testing testing services for membrane and coating manufacturers, developers, importers and resellers. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from sunlight can cause material degradation, colour fading and structural changes over tim
This is the moisture absorption test and you can have up to 10% increase in moisture content in just 24 hours! This set of tests is ASTM E96 - universally applied all over the planet. It was originally made for the food industry to make sure packaged foods didn't dry out on the shelves and we then stole it to tell us if our walls would or wouldn't go mouldy (spoiler alert, they will). The requirements Waterproofing Membranes for External Use Above Ground Testing also apply to wet areas within Class 5 to 9 buildings as if it were a Class 2 or 4 part of a building. The minimum requirements for the materials, design and installation of waterproofing for domestic wet areas in a Class 2, 3 and Class 4 part of a building are outlined within AS 3740. Clause F2D2 and Specification 26 of Volume One of the NCC sets out the areas that must be waterproof or water resistant for Class 2 to 9 building
We provide suppliers of flooring products (manufacturers and importers) NATA-endorsed test Waterproofing Membranes for External Use Above Ground Testing certification of their pedestrian surface materials. Our in-house laboratory can also assess flooring products prior to installation. QED will tailor a slip resistance testing program to each facility depending on the surfaces involved and pedestrian traffic patterns.

Our Waterproofing Membranes for External Use Above Ground Testing reports can help with verification of your property’s yearly compliance. Please contact Safe Environments to discuss how we may assist on providing slip ratings to your flooring products or to your construction site, prior to handover of a new building. We also offer slip ratings after accelerated wear conditioning protocol to assess how the slip ratings may change over time. We offer a range of services to ensure slip resistance for surfaces, including testing to Australian and international standards. The specialists at Safe Environments provide independent NATA accredited floor slip test services to assess the risk of slip and fall accident
