WSAA does not test or certify products that meet the Australian and New Zealand Flushable Products Standard (AS/NZS 5328). There is currently no laboratory within Australia that undertakes this testing. However, WSAA is working with a lab looking to establish testing.
There are currently two international laboratories that are able assess products against AS/NZS 5328. These laboratories are:
SGS in the USA

Centre Technique du Papier (CTP) in France
In terms of a flushable logo. The logo in AS/NZS 5328 has been copyrighted by Standards Australia and so cannot be used on flushable products. WSAA is currently working with Standards Australia to allow the use of this logo. In the interim it is suggested that manufacturers that meet the testing requirements of AS/NZS 5328 use a logo similar to this.
