Due to rapid expansion of the business and to further build upon the strong reputation and the high regard of its product certification services in the Australian and New Zealand markets, IAPMO R&T Oceana has expanded with the opening of a new office in Sydney, Australia.

The suburb of Miranda is located 24 kilometers south of the Sydney central business district and is only a 15-minute drive from the Sydney Airport, with easy city access via Sydney’s transport facilities.

David Connelly, IAPMO R&T Oceana GasMark™ Certification client manager since July, is located at the Miranda office and will provide a highly professional level of service to existing and new clients. IAPMO R&T Oceana, both in Melbourne and Sydney, will continue its message to the industry promoting the IAPMO ‘health and safety’ aspect of product certification.

“Opening an office in Sydney is part of the long-term strategy toward becoming the No. 1 Conformity Assessment Body in Australia,” said Michael Kefford, director of IAPMO R&T Oceana.

Established in Melbourne in 2008, IAPMO R&T Oceana is accredited by the Joint Accreditation System of Australia and New Zealand (JAS-ANZ) to operate an effective quality system in accordance with ISO/IEC Guide 65 general requirements for bodies operating product certification systems. IAPMO R&T Oceana certifies plumbing and drainage products to use the WaterMark™ symbol to meet regulatory requirements. In addition, it offers certification services to its own OceanaMark™ and GasMark™ product certification schemes to Australian and International Standards.
