AQIS Approved Third Party Assessors

The Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service (AQIS) approves commercial, private and government premises for the purposes of holding certain types of material subject to quarantine. To gain this approval there are both containment and procedural requirements that must be met. In the case of plant, animal, microbiological and invertebrate research facilities.

AQIS requires that premises comply with the design and construction aspects of the Australian/New Zealand Standards AS/NZS 2982.1:1997 (Laboratory Design and Construction) and AS/NZS 2243.3:2002 (Safety in Laboratories).

To determine if premises have met these Standards, an AQIS approved third party assessor must be engaged by the premises to undertake an assessment against the relevant standards.
