Agon has three hazardous materials laboratories, in Adelaide, Darwin, and Melbourne, accredited for asbestos testing by NATA to ISO/IEC 17025 for Bulk ID and fibre counting. Furthermore, our Adelaide office is able to offer rapid service NATA-accredited XRD analysis of vinyl tiles.
We are also able to establish field laboratories for larger projects requiring more rapid turnaround on results, or for remote projects where it is not feasible to wait for results, taking transportation time into consideration.
NATA-accredited measurement of airborne crystalline silica deposited on membrane filters is also available.
We are also able to provide XRD analysis of bulk materials to determine general mineralogy and crystalline silica content.
