Product testing and investigations

TGA Laboratories test therapeutic goods for quality. A risk-based process is applied to determine how products are tested.

Samples for testing are obtained from manufacturers, wholesalers, chemists, hospitals, retail outlets or the general public. On average, around 2000 samples of products are tested each year.
