If I send a sample will you test it?

Yes, provided the Company has the capacity and equipment to conduct the tests required. If you have special requirements you should contact the nearest AWTA Ltd office.

Samples submitted by wool growers are normally mid-side samples taken from their sheep, core samples from their classed lines, or hand samples representing classed lines which may be obtained in a variety of ways.

AWTA Ltd tests these submitted samples for the requested parameters and issues a Test Report. While the testing procedures for Yield & Micron on core samples and for Yield, Micron and Length & Strength on hand samples are essentially the same as for Certificate testing, the sampling methods in such cases are generally non-standard and the sampling has not been supervised by AWTA Ltd staff. In such instances AWTA Ltd can not provide an IWTO Certificate.
