Austest Adelaide gains full accreditation for Defence and Commercial EMC and Environmental Test Standards

Austest Laboratories recent move to much larger premises at 13 Newfield Road, Para Hills West has facilitated a recent audit, which has resulted in NATA MRA partner accreditation to a vast range of commercial and defence based environmental and EMC standards. This includes vibration and shock, ingress for dust and water, salt spray/corrosion, temperature/humidity testing and Solar + UV.

Austest Adelaide now provides the following scope of accredited testing:
