Why UKAS Accreditation Matters

ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation by UKAS is a recognised symbol of competence. It ensures that:

Our test methods are validated, reliable and consistently applied.
Our equipment is regularly calibrated and maintained to traceable international standards.
Our technical staff are qualified, experienced and continually trained.
Our laboratory operations are impartial, transparent, and quality assured.

In a world where data accuracy and product compliance can directly impact safety, legal liability, and market access — this level of independent verification is invaluable.
