Submitting a Sample

For accurate and timely analysis, it is crucial that a representative sample is collected, labelled and stored in an appropriate manner. Sample bottles are usually included in the price of analysis.

ChemCentre will supply sample bottles with sample labels attached, please conplete the entire label clearly. Note that several bottles may be required for the one sample depending on tests requested. All containers for the same sample should be labelled the same.

Items should be clearly labelled and indicate:

• The contact person or section name the samples are intended for, or the type of analysis (e.g. bore water testing)
• The identity of the sender
• Any storage instructions (e.g. refrigerate immediately)
• Any handling instructions (e.g. keep upright)
• Any hazardous material information, including pictograms, signal words (e.g. DANGER), hazard statements (e.g. extremely flammable gas) and precautionary information
• NOTE: In accordance with WHS Regulations 2022, r. 331, Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) are required for all incoming research chemicals, waste products or samples for analysis. Contact us for advice if you are unable to provide an SDS.

Chemical labelling information can be found on Safe Work Australia: Labelling Chemicals. You can also download the most recent guidelines for labelling hazardous materials from Safe Work Australia Model Code of Practice: Labelling of Workplace Hazardous Chemicals.
