Accreditation

NATA Accreditation

MPL Laboratories is NATA accredited for an extensive range of chemical, microbiological, dust, silica and fibres (asbestos) analysis on the basis of established methods or those developed in house.

MPL has NATA (ISO 17025) accreditation for over 40 classes of analysis, covering more than 200 approved tests.

MPL Laboratories is the only public testing Laboratory in WA presently accredited for both chemical and microbiological analysis of water samples. Continual method development work to expand the range of testing capabilities and NATA accreditation at MPL Laboratories is a key task for our senior staff.
