Act now to comply with new PFAS regulations


New Australian criteria for PFAS in materials—including packaging—demand stricter assessment and thorough documentation. 

ANSTO's Centre for Accelerator Science can perform non-destructive, rapid testing for flourine (the F in PFAS). 

This testing provides visibility of banned substances and other PFAS compounds.

As a nationally recognised facility, ANSTO delivers independent and unbiased analysis, supporting organisations in meeting regulatory and sustainability goals with confidence.
 

Rapid screening

Capability of testing large sample volumes quickly.

Non-destructive

Samples remain intact for further testing if required.

Independent insight

Clear identification of packaging with PFAS contamination risk.

Supporting confidence through compliance

Our detailed analysis can detect trace elements of fluorine down to 50 parts per million (ppm), giving your business confidence in compliance. This helps in avoiding delays to market for new products and reducing the risk of reputational damage from non-compliant materials.
