Methamphetamine manufacture and use can contaminate houses by leaving residual chemicals on walls, ceilings, carpets, and soft furnishings. This can cause health risks to people (particularly children) living in these houses.

Testing for Methamphetamine

Assessments are conducted by competent and experienced testers in accordance with Precise Standard Operating Procedures and the methodology described in NZS 8510:2017, including NIOSH 9111 method for sample collection.

Methamphetamine Assessments

We offer a range of testing services from a basic identification only assessment through to detailed and post decontamination testing services that can be tailored to meet your needs. Services include:

Screening Assessments – An assessment to determine the presence or absence of methamphetamine in a property
Detailed Assessment –
An assessment to determine the extent and magnitude of the methamphetamine contamination in a property

Screening Assessment

Discrete sampling is conducted by individually swabbing up to ten* high recovery surfaces from high-use areas in the dwelling in accordance with NIOSH Method 9111 .

At the laboratory, an equal portion from each sample is extracted to form one composite sample (Laboratory Composite).

The composite sample is then analyzed to identify whether any methamphetamine contamination.

Based on a 1-3 bedroomed dwelling. For larger dwellings additional samples may required.

Detailed Assessment

Discrete sampling is conducted in accordance with NIOSH Method 9111 by individually swabbing surfaces based on guidelines in NZS8510 and the samplers experience.

At the laboratory samples are analysed individually and reported as an individual level for each surface sampled.
