The Australian Compliance Laboratory is in business! Read about it at www.auscompliancelab.com"I love working with people on the front-lines of new, challenging problems and coming out with great results. I’m lucky to find how well mechanical test engineering allows me to do this, and so, I started my own test laboratory."The Australian Compliance Laboratory is NATA accredited to test dangerous goods packaging. Furthermore, using our experience and the adaptability of the lab, we take on our clients’ custom ‘myth-buster’ jobs and deliver the results they need.Harley Donkers’ greatest achievement to date is establishing his own company and test laboratory, the Australian Compliance Laboratory. In 2018, the company was endorsed with the most prestigious quality accreditation for laboratories in Australia – NATA, ISO 17025.Harley set out on his own to provide:• a laboratory that specialises in compliance testing of dangerous goods packaging,• a “myth-busting lab” that provides clients with the custom results they need, and• a lab that clients could call ‘their own’ for consultancy, building custom test rigs and QA testing.Harley has been recognised as a hard worker and high achiever when he was awarded a ‘First Class’ Honours Degree of Mechanical Engineering from RMIT. He was simultaneously working with a leading laboratory in the packaging industry for five years, nearly two of which he was the laboratory supervisor and lead test engineer.Harley is a high-energy, results driven and focused professional, with a reputation for developing strong customer relationships and win-win solutions. He’s been described as “in his element and dedicated” when working on challenging projects in the lab and building something new – usually whilst listening to jazz and stripped-back electric guitar. He’s proud of the company he’s built but also enjoys the challenge of enhancing systems and processes, to provide the highest quality end-to-end solutions to his customers.
