Osmose Utilities Services, Inc tests them for the utilities but I seriously doubt that you will get them to test your few poles even if you could afford it. Your best bet is to go by what they look like and what they sound like when you smack them with a hammer. I notice that Osmose bores something like a 1/2" hole at a 30 degree angle down into the buried butt just above the soil line. I presume that's to sample the chips from the center of the buried part of the pole for rot.
