Manage Your Applicant's Test Labs

The following page will show you how to manage your Applicant’s test laboratories (test labs) in the registration system.

This includes how to add, edit or delete a test lab.

Each Applicant has a list of test laboratories. This list is managed at the Applicant level. You can use the same test lab in a number of different product registrations.

There are two types of test lab:

1. Your Own Lab: this is the Applicant's or organisation's own private lab; and
2. Independent Labs: this is a public lab offering public testing services. When adding an Independent Lab you can choose from a global list of labs that are available to all suppliers.

You need to have at least one test lab for your Applicant to register a product.

Watch our video walkthrough to see how to manage your test labs:

Alternatively, you can follow the detailed instructions outlined below:
