You will need to write to:

Bohdan Dorniak; phone 61 8 83448170, email: <bdco@merlin... net.au>, or 
write to him at 47 Prospect Rd, Prospect, South Australia, 5082, Australia.

When you get a copy you will need to have the results ratified by your 
country's building authority?  That is the way we do it here with tests 
done overseas as long as they are done under the ASTM testing methods.

Hope that helps.

Kind regards The Straw Wolf.
