Austest Laboratories Australian tested product mark

Austest Laboratories has released the ‘Australian tested product’ mark, free to all clients who have submitted products for compliance testing. The mark will show consumers which importers and manufacturers have committed to meeting Australian standards performed under an accredited testing regime, as opposed to overseas standards, or none at all.

The mark can be used on products tested to the applicable regulatory requirements, be they electrical safety or EMC, telecommunications, environmental and energy efficiency. Suitable locations for the mark would be on packaging visible to the consumer at the time of purchase, and/or on product marketing brochures.

There is no fee for the use of the mark by Austest clients. A basic terms and conditions document is required to be signed before use of the mark, which can be obtained from Austest Laboratories. The mark can be applied to any products tested with Austest Labs from June 2008.
