Testing Capabilities

On-Site. Certified. Fast.
Testing That Keeps Operations Moving.

We deploy mobile laboratory services directly to your site, providing coal testing, water testing and fuel testing using ISO and ASTM methods. Receive certified laboratory results without sample transport and eliminate turnaround delays that stall operational decisions.

Coal testing laboratory performing coal analysis

Coal Testing & Analysis — From Sample to Procurement Decision

Incorrect calorific values and ash profiles cost mining operations in blending efficiency and contract disputes. Our coal testing and analysis delivers proximate and ultimate results to ISO and ASTM standards — fast enough to support coal quality control and procurement decisions.

Water testing laboratory analysis

Water Testing & Analysis — DWS and SANS Compliance

Licence conditions and discharge permits require verified, traceable data on tight reporting windows. We provide industrial water testing and water quality testing with full physicochemical and heavy metals analysis, backed by audit-ready laboratory reports.

Fuel testing laboratory performing oil analysis

Fuel Testing & Oil Analysis — Stop Failures Before They Start

Contaminated fuel and degraded lubricants cause unplanned equipment downtime that costs multiples of what a test costs. Our fuel testing and oil analysis detect contamination, flash point deviations and acid number creep using calibrated IP standard methods.

Stone Dust Testing & Sampling — DMR Compliance

Non-compliant dust measurements invite DMR enforcement, section 54 stoppages, and injury liability. Our on-site stone dust testing and sampling measures deposition rate, particle size and gravimetric analysis to maintain DMR compliance.

Core Operational Advantage

The Lab Arrives at Your Site.
Results Leave Without Your Samples.

Traditional laboratories require samples to travel hundreds of kilometres before analysis begins. Our mobile laboratory services eliminate that delay — bringing fully equipped laboratory testing to your site for same-day coal testing, water testing and fuel testing with sample integrity intact.

Accreditation Advisory

Pass the Audit. Reduce the Risk.
Build a System That Holds.

ISO/IEC 17025 Accreditation Readiness

Most laboratories fail their first SANAS assessment because of documentation gaps and process inconsistencies, not technical capability. We build ISO/IEC 17025 laboratory quality management systems correctly from the start — so you enter assessment with confidence.

  • Management system development aligned to ISO/IEC 17025 requirements
  • Internal audits that replicate SANAS assessment conditions
  • Pre-assessments and gap analysis with prioritised remediation plans

ISO/IEC 17025 Staff Competency

ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation is maintained when staff understand the system they operate within. Our training builds genuine laboratory competency — not checkbox compliance — so your quality culture holds between audits.

  • Practical digital awareness and QMS training for laboratory staff
  • Competency assessment and structured capacity building programmes
  • Ongoing compliance support and surveillance preparation
How It Works

From Site Arrival to
Certified Results — Fast.

01

We Come to You

Mobile deployment to your operational site, or laboratory-based intake for fixed-location clients. Chain-of-custody documentation initiated the moment sampling begins — no gaps, no assumptions.

02

Certified Laboratory Analysis

ISO, ASTM, and IP methods applied on annually calibrated equipment, verified daily against certified reference materials. Every run is QC-checked before results are released — no result leaves without independent confirmation.

03

Decision-Ready Laboratory Results

Structured reports returned in formats ready for operational use, regulatory submission, and third-party audit. No reformatting, no interpretation required — results you can act on immediately.
