A quality assurance program has been developed by Independent Verification Services (IVS) for the Timber Preservers’ Association of Australia (TPAA) and Australian Timber Treaters. The Program is endorsed by the TPAA.
GETTING STARTED:
Maintaining Approval
- You will be annually audited by an IVS assessor checking that you are following your documented operating system.
- You will need to submit samples for laboratory analysis using the IVS web based portal system.
- IVS will also take a random set of samples from our treated products, either onsite or from your product in the supply chain.
- Submit your monthly reports including:
- Treatment reconciliations
- Charge sheet summaries
- Product failure reports.
Laboratory Testing
Our fully web-based timber testing portal provides online sample registration, reporting and realtime tracking of samples through the testing process. Our compliance reports reference in detail applicable standards and provide added value through graphical representation of results including:
- Mass / Mass result for chemicals actives analysed
- Preservative Penetration
- Variables / Trends
- Historical data
Talk to us
Our program is designed to minimize onsite audit time but, at the same time, provide a robust system for monitoring treatment outputs, saving time, money and providing increased efficiencies for your business. To discuss your requirements in more detail call:
