Testing & Certification Services
At Alpha Scientific, we are very committed to looking after our customers. We understand that many organizations cant afford or justify purchasing elaborate testing systems or equipment. Many organizations simply don’t have the staff or resources and yet they often still have the need or desire to get their products and or facilities tested to local or global standards. Some organizations are doing research and development and having the ability to get their products tested by a 3rd party can prove invaluable.
Companies come to us regularly asking if we or our affiliates can perform certain testing & certification services for them using the same or similiar technologies and we are pleased to say the answer is YES in many cases. This section of the website will continue to evolve and showcase those testing services that are available through Alpha Scientific, our local customers and affiliates and our global suppliers. (*) This service may be provided by a local or global 3rd party affiliated with Alpha Scientific Pty Ltd.
