LABORATORY TESTING
The acoustic laboratories are operated by Norbert Gabriels, who is a fellow of the Australian Acoustical Society. Norbert is the chairman of the Australian Standard's
committee on architectural acoustics (AV/4), responsible for all Australian Standards relative to the performance, measurement and assessment of acoustics in
buildings.
Acoustic Laboratories Australia Pty Ltd can offer the following acoustic testing services:
