About Falcon

Independent testing since 1988

Falcon Test Engineers is an independent, Australian-owned testing laboratory. Testing is our whole business — and has been for over three decades.

NATA-accredited to ISO/IEC 17025 · ISTA-certified · Est. 1988 · Australian-owned

The evidence that your product performs

Since 1988, Falcon has given manufacturers, packaging companies, chemical and pharmaceutical businesses, logistics providers and defence suppliers the independent evidence they need to prove their products and packaging perform.

We're not a division of a packaging supplier or a manufacturer. Our reports carry weight because the laboratory behind them has nothing to sell except accurate results — and because that laboratory is accredited, experienced and answerable for its data.

We also guide the full pathway. For dangerous goods packaging, that means helping you identify the right standard, test to it, and manage your packaging design approval application with your state's Competent Authority — so you have one point of contact from your first enquiry to an approved package.

Send us your samples, or talk to us first about what's involved — we'll confirm the scope, timeframe and price before any testing begins.

How we work

Independent, by design

Testing is our whole business, not a sideline — so our only interest is an accurate result.

Direct access to the people testing

You deal directly with the people running your tests, not an account layer.

The full pathway

We guide you from the right standard through to approval, not just the test itself.

Accreditation and certification

NATA-accredited to ISO/IEC 17025

Our mechanical testing is independently accredited, which is what gives our test reports their weight with regulators and customers. Accreditation applies to specific test methods within our scope — get in touch to confirm the accredited status of the test your project needs.

ISTA-certified
