Laboratories and Analysts under the Food Act 2001
The Food Act 2001 (the Act) requires SA Health to approve laboratories and analysts to carry out analyses of food under the Act.
Laboratories are approved based on receiving accreditation from the National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA) with their approval being conditional on the laboratories retaining this accreditation.
Analysts are approved on the basis that they are authorised by the laboratory to release test results as per ISO/IEC 17025:2017 Field Application Document issued by NATA and on the condition they retain their employment with the laboratory.
SA Health must maintain a publicly accessible list of laboratories and analysts approved under the Act. The list of approved laboratories and analysts in South Australia is provided below.
