Education and Training ORLAB provides customised education and training in the area of eye and face protection, which includes sunglasses and fashion spectacles. When new or revised standards are published, ORLAB is often involved in familiarisation seminars to introduce the new provisions, highlight changes and review the consequential issues in compliance. ORLAB can provide small group or one-on-one training and practical experience for companies and their staff to understand the testing process and the issues in compliance. ORLAB currently educates and hosts higher degree research students. If you are interested in pursuing a research career in these areas, please contact us. To discuss your education and training needs, please contact our staff.
Product development ORLAB is involved in research and development. ORLAB can assist with the development of products includinginput to the design and construction as well as testing to relevant standards. Previous examples include:
- the Railways LED Lantern Test (RLLT). Traffic signals complying with AS/NZS 2144, surgical luminaires complying with IEC 60601-2-41 and light sources complying with the Cyanosis Observation Index (COI) of AS/NZS 1680.2.5
