Discrete individual area by area samples composited in the field

When to use Standard Screening Assessment (SSA)

This is a cost-effective method to use in the following situations:

• Pre-purchase due diligence of a property to own or as an investment.
• Establish if a rental property is habitable under the Standard NZS8510:2017.
• Support of the installation of MethMinder to monitor for manufacture and test for use.
• Pre-and post-tenancy monitoring for methamphetamine related behaviour during a tenancy.
• Vehicle purchase, police recovery of stolen vehicle, and meth management of company vehicles.

How MethSolutions does a Standard Screening Assessment using discrete area by area individual sampling

• Use a minimum of one individual sample per room
• Adhere to the NIOSH9111 method of sampling to comply with Standard NZS8510
• Select sample sites and surfaces that have a high affinity to attract methamphetamine residue as per Standard NZS8510<
• Samples are composited onsite in groups of no more than five swabs
• The lab extracts and analyses each composite SSA sample to ensure accuracy with reliable results
• Results are reported in micrograms as a cumulative level of each of the individual wipes to assess habitability for tenanting
• Can identify methamphetamine at very low levels
• We call you to discuss the results and answer any questions you may have
• Provide a lab analysis report to confirm the results
• Provide a MethSolutions cover letter to provide context around the results
• Provide ongoing support
