Perth’s trusted experts in compressed air testing and air audits

In many industrial and production environments, compressed air isn’t just powering equipment – it’s essential for respiratory protection. Whether you’re operating in confined spaces, conducting spray painting, or working in food or pharmaceutical manufacturing, the quality of your breathing air directly affects the health and safety of your workforce.

Contaminated compressed air can contain harmful substances such as oil mist and vapours, moisture and humidity, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, and solid particles and microorganisms.

To ensure air safety and system performance, regular breathing air testing is not only best practice, but also a requirement under Australian Standards and the Work Health and Safety Act 2020.

When you book a breathing air test with Nessco Pressure Systems, our trained technicians will:

• Test for odour, oil, CO, CO₂, oxygen, water vapour, and particulates

• Inspect airlines and replace inline filters where required

• Assess compliance with AS/NZS 1715:2009

• Issue a Certificate of Compliance with test results and recommendations

Our breathing air testing helps your business meet the requirements of the following international and Australian Standards, as well as workplace health and safety legislation:

• AS/NZS 1715:2009 – Use and maintenance of respiratory protective equipment

• ISO 8573-1:2010 – Compressed air purity classifications

• WHS (General) Regulations 2022 – Managing airborne contaminants

Testing intervals depend on system type and filtration load. Annual checks are rarely sufficient. At Nessco Pressure Systems, we recommend testing every 3 to 6 months, depending on the air filtration system used.
