Reliable NZ meth testing carried out by qualified testers

The testing process used by M & M Testing Services
M & M Testing Services receives a request for testing of property. We liaise with owners, property managers or real estate agents and arrange an appointment.
M & M Testing Services offers a range of testing depending on your circumstances.
We use a sophisticated air sampler to detect contaminants and are then able to locate the best places to test in your property.
Initial Instant Test: This test gives you a yes/no answer at the time of assessment as to whether meth contamination is present at your property. Usually, this test is done to levels of 1.5 µg/100cm², which is the NZ Standard.
We also offer Field Compositing or Lab Compositing which is Lab based testing
If levels are above 1.5 µg/100cm² we recommend Discrete Testing for levels to be known for decontamination purposes.
Second Test or Lab Test: If the initial tests indicate the presence of Meth, then in conjunction with the owner we conduct swab testing. When necessary, M & M Testing Services uses composite testing, that is doing a number of tests in each room which gives a better indication of what the levels are in each area. These tests are analysed by an independent laboratory and give more detailed results.
Field Composite Testing : Used for an indicator of methamphetamine only
5 Samples are collected from the walls in the Highest Used Areas of the property and sent to the lab to collate a combined level of meth in the property. If meth is present above 1.5 µg/100cm² further discrete testing is required to find in which areas the meth is over 1.5 µg/100cm² .
Lab Composite Testing:
This test is where right from the start individual swabs are taken in all the rooms and put in separate test tubes.
At the laboratory small pieces from each swab are put into one tube and tested together. This will give a reading for the property. If meth is not detected above the NZ8410:2017 standard of 1.5µg/100cm² no further action is required.
If however meth is detected the lab can retest the individual tubes for readings for each area at a fraction of the cost it would be if another lot of tests were required.
Initially this type of testing is the most expensive, but if meth is detected and further tests required it works out to be the lower cost option.
Discrete Lab Testing:
These are individual swabs that are collected if further lab testing is required to find meth levels after either an instant test or composite Field test.
Third Test or Sign off test: If Meth has been found and you need to carry out Meth decontamination, M & M Testing Services will retest the property for you after the decontamination experts have finished to ensure any contamination is now below Ministry of Health guidelines.
All meth assessments come with photos of where we sampled, explanations of what we found, and recommendations of what to do next if required.
