Technical discipline, transparent procedures and reliable reporting.
TerraAssay is building its inspection and laboratory framework around internationally recognized principles for technical competence, impartiality, documentation control, sample traceability and reliable reporting.
“TerraAssay is developing laboratory systems and operating procedures aligned with internationally recognized testing, inspection and quality management principles, including ISO/IEC 17025 laboratory competence requirements.”
Six pillars behind every inspection and assay.
Representative Sampling
Sampling procedures designed to support reliable and commercially useful assay results.
Chain of Custody
Sample identification, sealing, labelling, transfer control and documentation from collection to reporting.
Controlled Sample Preparation
Drying, crushing, splitting, pulverizing and homogenization procedures designed to reduce preparation error.
Report Review
Structured technical review before reports are issued to clients.
Data Integrity
Clear records, traceable sample references and controlled documentation.
Confidentiality
Responsible handling of client data, contracts, assays and commercial information.
Sample Control Principles
TerraAssay emphasizes traceable sample control from the point of collection to final report. This includes sample identification, sealing, photographic evidence, duplicate samples, referee samples and controlled transfer documentation where required.
Inspection Documentation
Our inspection reports are designed to provide clear and practical evidence for commercial decision-making. Reports may include cargo description, location, date, inspection scope, photographs, package count, seal records, sampling details, weight records, observations and conclusions.
Responsible Reporting
TerraAssay reports are intended to support transparent technical and commercial decision-making. We avoid unsupported claims and clearly define the inspection scope, sample basis and reporting limitations.
Long-Term Quality Objective
TerraAssay’s long-term objective is to develop a mineral testing and inspection platform aligned with ISO/IEC 17025 laboratory competence principles and recognized international best practices for mineral sampling, preparation, testing and reporting.
Verifying every report we issue.
TerraAssay is developing a secure report and certificate verification system to support clients, buyers, banks and trade partners. Once activated, clients will be able to verify issued report references, inspection numbers and assay documentation through TerraAssay’s official website.
