About Us
Falcon Test Engineers (formerly Falcon Engineering) was founded in June 1988 with a mission to provide manufacturers and shippers of dangerous goods a trusted, confidential, and efficient independent testing facility.
Located in Melbourne, Australia, our laboratory stands out as one of the few in Australasia and Asia that holds NATA accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025 in mechanical testing, specializing in dangerous goods packaging.
Recognizing the unique requirements of manufacturers, importers, and shippers, we have expanded our offerings to include a comprehensive range of mechanical, materials, and component testing, accompanied by a dedicated technical consultancy service.
