Active Environmental Solutions Australia (AES), a leading provider of occupational hygiene, industrial safety, and environmental monitoring solutions, has achieved NATA accreditation for the calibration of air sampling pumps and flow meters under ISO/IEC 17025.
This accreditation enables AES to deliver calibration services that are independently verified, traceable to national measurement standards, and fully compliant with Australian regulatory requirements—providing customers with confidence in every measurement result.
AES pursued accreditation to elevate the quality and reliability of the calibration services it provides to occupational hygienists and safety professionals. Its customers rely not only on AES’s monitoring equipment, but also on the assurance that their instruments are performing accurately when assessing workplace exposures.
Accurate calibration of air sampling pumps and flow meters is essential. These instruments must demonstrate proven accuracy, traceability, and consistency, particularly when data informs compliance assessments, validates control measures, or guides decisions that directly affect worker health. High‑quality calibration reduces uncertainty, strengthens defensibility, and supports more robust occupational hygiene programs.
As regulatory expectations increased and the need for defensible, traceable measurement data grew, AES recognised that achieving NATA accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025 was the necessary next step. Accreditation provides independent validation of its technical competence and gives customers greater confidence in the integrity of their exposure data.
A Worthwhile Investment
Accreditation is central to AES’s business, confirming the technical competence and quality assurance processes behind every calibration it performs. Recognition by NATA ensures that its services meet national and international standards and reinforces the trust customers place in the equipment used to measure airborne contaminant exposures.
For AES’s team, accreditation has enhanced internal processes, strengthened technical capability, and embedded a culture of continuous improvement. It ensures that methods, training, and documentation are aligned with best practice and remain subject to ongoing independent review.
For organisations considering accreditation, AES encourages viewing it as a long‑term investment in quality rather than a simple compliance requirement. Building a strong internal foundation—through consistent procedures, robust documentation, and comprehensive training—proved essential to AES’s success.
AES also highlights the importance of early staff engagement. When team members understand the purpose and value of accreditation, they become active contributors to the process. This fosters technical ownership and ensures that improvements made on the accreditation journey translate into lasting operational excellence.
NATA congratulates AES on this achievement and looks forward to its continued contributions to occupational health, safety, and environmental monitoring.
