Testing Service Directory
Monday, 09 October, 2000
No company wants defective goods or materials to reach its markets, which is why professional testing, calibration or inspection by an accreditied facility has become an essential part of the production process.
With thousands of testing, measurement and inspection facilities to choose from, companies may be uncertain about which facilities offer the assurance of being independently accredited by a nationally and internationally recognised authority.
This process has been simplified by the National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA), which has released a comprehensive directory of accredited laboratories.
NATA's 2000-2001 Annual Directory provides full details on over 2500 laboratories accredited by NATA to international standards for technical competence and management practice.
NATA accredited facilities span many types of industry, including: automotive; defence; electrical; information technology; laboratory; manufacturing; transport; and telecommunications to name a few.
