The Need For Independent Meth Testing
Meth Testing
Media release 29/11/2016
To our valued clients.
Who should be conducting meth contamination testing?
In short, the answer is – an independent party should be undertaking meth contamination testing.
There has been a lot of discussion this year about how testing should take place but the question of who should conduct meth contamination testing has taken a back seat.
TVNZ’s Seven Sharp has recently run a piece on the issue of who is conducting the tests and have raised some interesting questions such as –
- Does the tester have any financial or professional interest in the property aside from the meth testing?
- Is there is a conflict of interest if they do?
- Should this person therefore be undertaking the testing?

Seven sharp asked the Real Estate Agents Authority and the Property Institute and their response surmised that an independent party should be engaged to facilitate testing of properties.
The key reasoning behind this is straightforward. In order for real estate agents and property managers to remain truly impartial and as such protect both themselves and their clients, they must utilise a fully independent third party meth testing company.

Our Meth Tests
Active Testing Solutions offers three levels of tests, dependent on the requirement of our clients. Each variation of these tests can be used across both private and commercial establishments.
Laboratory Composite Test
Individual swabs are taken from at least 5 locations throughout your home. Parts of each sample are then combined in our state of the art laboratories to test for any meth contamination.
Individual Laboratory Test
Similar to the laboratory composite tests, multiple on-site swabs are taken. These swabs are then individually tested to ascertain the specific contamination levels within each area swabbed.
Post Remediation Test
If meth is found, you will need to have area professionally cleaned. Once the remediation work is completed, we will retest the area to ensure contamination has been completed removed.
