Flats can be tested using a reference flat. The reference surface and the surface to be tested have to be without reflective coating. When the surfaces are one on top of the other leaving a little air gap, the Newton fringes will appear showing the error.
I am going to get a lambda/20 flat mirror soon but I cannot do this test.
I don't think there is anybody in Australia who can test flat for amateur telescopes.
