UKAS Accreditation
Since 1985, the laboratory has been accredited for a wide range of sampling methods, site and laboratory tests by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) and its predecessors (NAMAS and NATLAS). This accreditation demonstrates our commitment to providing a consistent high quality service for our clients. Accreditation has been maintained subject to annual surveillance and reassessment to the present day.
“Accreditation has a very key role to play in ensuring the competence and integrity of organisations that provide testing, calibration, inspection and certification services. It is up to the market to decide on quality issues. Government can only advise and encourage best practice. In our view, businesses should look first for the national Accreditation Mark, which embraces the Royal Crown signifying Government recognition.”
