TSAS — Know Before You Test
A standardised pre-testing service that defines test scope, applicable standards and estimated costs — owned by the client, usable with any laboratory.
Get paid for scope assessment work your specialists already do for free — regardless of who wins the testing contract.
You own the TSAS Report. Take it to multiple laboratories, compare like-for-like quotes and negotiate from a position of knowledge.
Extends the contract review requirement into a formal, documented and billable professional service.
How TSAS Works
One assessment. Multiple quotes. Full transparency.
Client Inquiry
Client contacts a TSAS-registered laboratory with a product testing request.
Scope Assessment
Technical specialist analyses applicable standards, scope and feasibility. Delivered in 1–3 business days. Fee agreed upfront.
TSAS Report
Client receives a standardised PDF report — scope, standards, feasibility and cost estimate. The client owns this document.
Compare Quotes
Client shares the TSAS Report with one or more LCAS-registered laboratories and requests competing test quotations.
Place Test Order
Client selects a laboratory and places the LCAS-based test order on the agreed scope — no rework, no surprises.
The Report Belongs to the Client
A TSAS Report is a standardised, portable document. Once produced, the client can use it to request quotes from any TSAS-registered laboratory — not just the one that carried out the assessment.
This means laboratories are paid fairly for their assessment work, and clients gain genuine negotiating power based on a clearly defined scope.
