NATA is Australia's foremost organisation responsible for the accreditation of laboratories, inspection bodies, calibration services, producers of reference materials and proficiency testing scheme providers throughout Australia.
It is also Australia's compliance monitoring authority for the OECD (Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development) Principles of GLP (Good Laboratory Practice).
NATA provides independent assurance of technical competence through a process of accreditation, which formally recognises that these facilities produce reliable technical results. NATA's work increases community confidence and trust in a facility's services, mitigates risk, improves tendering success and facilitates trade. For more information on NATA click here.
ISO/IEC 17025 - Accredited in 2013
We are accredited under 17025 to provide Breathalyser Calibration services to our clients for both hand-held and wall mounted breathalysers - we are the only company in the country to hold this level of accreditation and are proud of our achievement.
For you as the customer, the NATA-endorsement we provide on our calibration certificates is there to provide prima facie evidence that the measurement results within the report have been issued under the laboratory's NATA Accreditation. Hence, you can have the confidence that the calibrations have been undertaken by competent staff using sound science/ engineering as verified by NATA's peer assessment processes.
ISO/IEC 17025 - Accredited in 2013
We have been assessed and granted accreditation by NATA against ISO/IEC 17025. Specifically to conduct Onsite Drug Testing.
ISO/IEC 17025 is an international quality management system standard that enables laboratories to demonstrate that they operate competently and generate valid results. It outlines the controls required to manage risks that may have an impact on the validity of examination results, and tools to help the laboratory to improve its operations and customer satisfaction.
We have attained the highly respected NATA accreditation for onsite collection, testing, storage and dispatch of both urine and saliva samples and accreditation for onsite testing for urine.
