TGA laboratory testing reports

Results of TGA Laboratory testing have historically been released every 6 months in the Database of TGA laboratory testing results. However this database has temporarily been removed due to technical difficulties. We are working to get the database uploaded again soon.

We also periodically publish more detailed reports related to specific testing projects. These reports are available below.

For more information about the TGA Laboratories and laboratory testing see: TGA Laboratories: What we test and how to access the results and TGA laboratory testing results.
