Physics and materials

Our Lindfield site is one of our largest research centres. And we have now opened our doors to SMEs and start-ups looking to co-locate, collaborate and leverage our capabilities and facilities.

Solar cell and panel testing

We provide measurement and consultancy services relating to the performance of photovoltaic (PV) solar cells and modules, from lab testing to assess product quality through to outdoor testing and assessing real world performance and durability.

Acoustic testing services for buildings

We provide a range of services to help improve the acoustic environment in buildings, optimise the acoustic behaviour of products and certify acoustic performance.

Coatings and plastic materials durability services

We provide expert consultancy services in coatings and materials durability for the automotive, aerospace and building industries.

Fire Pass Product Listing scheme

CSIRO’s Fire Pass Product Listing Scheme has been established so that members who have tested their products, components or systems with us, can have their certificates published and verified by third parties.

Fire safety: testing, research and certification services

We carry out testing certification and standardisation of reaction to fire and fire resistance of product and building. We also provide independent and objective fire safety engineering expertise and evaluation.

Independent verification and certification services

We provide an independent certification process for the materials and infrastructure industries. We operate approval and certification schemes for paints and coating products, painting contractors, fire detection and suppression systems and self-drilling fasteners.

Manufacturing engineering services

We provide expertise in fine toolmaking, machining, precision finishing of products and hardening and grinding which can be used to develop prototype instruments.

Metal processing and production Metal processing and production

We are contributing to the renewal of traditional metal production and manufacturing industries using design, process control, cost reduction methods and modelling and simulation.

Services to measure thermal conductivity and resistance

We can measure properties such as thermal conductivity and thermal resistance of a wide range of insulating and conducting materials.

Slip resistance services for surfaces

We offer a range of services to ensure slip resistance for surfaces, including testing to Australian and international standards.
