Using UKAS to Locate a Test House
Product and system testing and certification have an important role to play in quality management.
Testing services are offered by specialised testing houses, accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS), which is the body responsible for assess testing houses against international standards to guarantee the quality of their services.

UKAS
UKAS is the only national accreditation body recognised by the UK Government to assess organisations that provide certification, testing, inspection and calibration services internationally against agreed standards.
Accreditation by UKAS ensures the competence and integrity of organisations that provide such services.
The UKAS website provides a number of search facilities for locating approved bodies providing testing and calibration services on site or at their premises.
