Australia’s environmental laboratories are the frontline defenders of public health and ecosystem integrity. Whether it’s monitoring air quality in urban zones, checking water safety in rural communities, or analyzing soil for agricultural runoff, these labs depend on accurate, traceable, and compliant results.
At Graham B Jackson Pty Ltd (GBJPL), we proudly support these labs with one of Australia’s most comprehensive ranges of Certified Reference Materials (CRMs) for environmental testing. With world-renowned partners like ERA Waters, Analytika, NIST, and others, our goal is simple: deliver confidence and compliance in every result.
Why CRMs Matter in Environmental Testing
In a regulatory environment governed by NATA, EPA, and international accreditation standards, Certified Reference Materials are not optional—they’re essential.
These high-purity, matrix-matched materials are used to:
- Validate test methods
- Ensure calibration accuracy
- Meet audit and accreditation requirements
- Conduct proficiency testing
- Detect low-level environmental contaminants with confidence
Whether you’re analyzing trace metals in water, PAHs in soil, or particulates in air, GBJPL’s CRM portfolio gives your lab the tools to do it right.

Water Testing CRMs
We provide reference materials for a wide spectrum of water testing parameters, including:
- Nutrients (nitrate, phosphate, ammonia)
- Heavy metals (lead, mercury, arsenic)
- Disinfection by-products
- Microbiological targets
- Organics and volatiles (VOCs, SVOCs)
Our partner, ERA Environmental, offers one of the most comprehensive water CRM and Proficiency Testing (PT) catalogs globally—fully compatible with USEPA, ISO, and NATA methods.
Soil Analysis CRMs
From agriculture to land remediation, accurate soil testing is critical. Our CRMs cover:
- Inorganic analytes (metals, pH, conductivity)
- Organic pollutants (PCBs, PAHs, pesticides)
- Microbiological and nutrient profiles
These materials are matrix-matched and come with extensive documentation for traceability and regulatory compliance.
Air Monitoring CRMs
We also support laboratories engaged in indoor air quality (IAQ), stack emission testing, and ambient air monitoring with:
- VOC/TO-15 canister standards
- Gas phase standards
- Particulate-bound analyte CRMs
- Filters and sorbent tubes with known loadings
These are ideal for environmental consultancies, industrial hygienists, and EPA-aligned facilities.
Specialty CRMs: Asbestos Standards
Asbestos is still a key focus in legacy building material testing and environmental risk assessment. GBJPL offers asbestos CRMs in a range of:
- Concentrations (from trace levels to higher spikes)
- Matrices (air, bulk material, dust, water)
These are suitable for polarized light microscopy (PLM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and other regulated techniques.
Simplifying Compliance: We Handle Import & Quarantine
Importing biological and environmental CRMs into Australia can be a logistical maze—permits, customs, DAFF biosecurity clearances, and temperature controls are just the beginning.
With GBJPL, you don’t have to worry about any of that.
We manage:
- Import permits and documentation
- Cold-chain logistics
- DAFF quarantine approvals
- Tracking and delivery to your lab’s doorstep
We make sure your lab stays focused on testing—not paperwork.
Our Global Partners in Quality
We are proud to supply CRMs and proficiency testing materials from globally recognized institutions, including:
ERA Environmental & PT Reference Materials
Analytika Reference Materials
National Measurement Institute (NMI)
NIST (USA)
BCR (European Commission)
ERM (European Reference Materials)
NCS (China)
LGC Standards (UK)
NMIJ (Japan)
NIES (Japan)
JSAC (Japan Society for Analytical Chemistry)
This vast network ensures we can source the right CRM—no matter how specific the matrix or analyte.
Final Word: Partner with GBJPL for Confidence in Every Sample
In environmental testing, precision isn’t just about numbers—it’s about trust. With Graham B Jackson’s broad CRM portfolio and logistics expertise, your lab can test with confidence, meet accreditation requirements, and deliver results that truly make a difference.
