About Us

Standard and Reference is a progressive, commercial analytical chemical laboratory,
dedicated to serving the global mineral industry.

We use the best combination of classical chemistry and modern instrumental techniques, to provide the finest analytical data,
in both accuracy AND precision.

Our cutting-edge proprietary methods are normally applied critical concentrates and metallurgical samples,
but also have extensive mining and exploration applications.

Our classical chemistry knowledge and methods draw on 150 years of experience in the industry, learnt from the best analytical chemists
from Australia and around the world.

As part of the global inspection and testing organisation Inspectorate International, Standard and Reference Laboratories
can draw on huge and highly diversified technical resources and experience from right around the world.
This global integration offers considerable opportunities and advantages for our clients when exporting commodities overseas
and far exceeds the capabilites of smaller, domestic laboratories.
