Understanding the creep mechanism and rate be able to aid materials selection and design. Further analysis can be obtained from examining the sample post fracture. Additionally, specialized tensile creep testing equipment may AS 4654.1 Waterproofing Membranes for External Above Ground Use Testing include incorporated high temperature furnace components to aid diffusio


Don't risk your insurance claim, legal case, or property transaction with biased or non-accredited testing. More importantly, you get truly unbiased results -- which is priceless when making decisions about your property. NATA accreditation involves ongoing assessment, not just a one-time audit. ISO certification typically covers management systems and processes, while NATA accreditation specifically assesses technical competence in testing and calibration. This eliminates any possibility of bias and ensures our results are truly objective.

In Australia, slip resistance is AS 4654.1 Waterproofing Membranes for External Above Ground Use Testing assessed under AS 4586 testing methods, which classify flooring based on performance in dry, wet or greasy environments. Forbo has over 50 years of experience in designing and manufacturing safety vinyl floor coverings.Our Step safety flooring collection is a complete range of products that meet safety requirements across a wide variety of different applications. It details slip rating requirements using methods such as the 'wet pendulum', 'oil-wet inclined ramp', and 'wet barefoot' tests, catering to various environments. Understanding AS 4586 slip ratings and how to specify compliant flooring for Australian commercial environments.

The slip rating however is based on a minimum of five (5) specimens tested, in which the average of the BPN is used. The wet pendulum test covers the majority of installation applications of our products and the below tables set out the various classifications and compare the test results between the P and R Rating tests. AS/NZS 4586 is the primary Australian standard that relates to the slip resistance classifications of new pedestrian surface materials. Flooring must comply with AS 4586 and meet classifications appropriate for high-risk areas exposed to oil and water. It defines classification systems such as P ratings (pendulum test) and R ratings (ramp test), helping specifiers determine appropriate flooring for specific applications. Other methods (Oil Wet Ramp and Wet Barefoot Ramp) exist, but most flooring suppliers and builders only need the two above.

Waterstops for use in water retaining and water excluding structures where a positive seal is required. Primer options that AS 4654.1 Waterproofing Membranes for External Above Ground Use Testing enhance the adhesion of waterproofing and coating systems to various substrates. HDPE Bentonite Sheet waterproofing membranes with expandable Bentonite adhered to high density Polyethylene (HDPE) for horizontal, vertical and lagging applications. Tremco offer various reinforcing products that are used in conjunction with fluid applied waterproofing membrane


TREMseal Bandage is a TPE flexible sealing tape, is thin and extra-tough elastic strip with considerable longitudinal and lateral extension. TREMproof Torch 4000M is a 4mm thick, APP modified bituminous torch applied waterproofing membrane which is polyester spunbond, with glass filament reinforcement. TREMproof 260 is a polymer-enhanced, single component, fluid-applied, bitumen emulsion, waterproofing membrane.
Tremco Xylol
TREMproof Torch Bitumen Primer is a solvent based modified bitumen primer designed to assist with adhesion of the TREMproof Torch and TREMproof 560A membranes to the substrate. TREMproof 250GC is a rapid curing, high solids, low VOC, moisture cure modified polyurethane waterproofing membrane that can be applied to "Green" (24 hour old) concrete. Polyurethane membranes cure to form an elastic waterproof seal that is free of seams to prevent moisture or water to leach into the surface. Cementitious waterproofing membrane has great adhesion to concrete, cement rendered masonry and fibre-cement sheet, and provides a uniform colour and texture similar to mortar. Vulkem NEM Plus is an Australian made single component, moisture curing, high tensile strength and tough curing polyurethane membran


We strongly believe their accreditation provides the formal recognition that PoCT produces reliable, technical results. NATA accreditation is both nationally and internationally recognised. The Global Accreditation Cooperation Incorporated has become Global ACI the next evolution of the single international body uniting ILAC and IAF. In 2020, Approval Specialists P/L and Austest Laboratories became part of the Phenna Group, a UK based Group of specialist businesses focused on the Testing, Inspection, Certification, and Compliance (TICC) Sector.
