Asbestos testing is a specialist occupation. Normally carried out in a lab which is UKAS accredited for asbestos testing. Some people make the mistake of assuming that because a lab holds UKAS for asbestos testing the very same lab is accredited for inspections. This is wrong! The only time this is true is when the organisation holds UKAS accreditation for asbestos surveys (Inspection) plus it holds UKAS accreditation for asbestos testing.

The Testing Lab PLC holds both, UKAS accreditation for asbestos testing and inspection.

Each accreditation is made up of numerous individual elements. It is critical not to assume ISO 9001 covers asbestos in any way what so ever. To check if an organisation is UKAS accredited go here :- https://www.ukas.com › find-an-organisation

I will do a separate post for each accreditation but if you have any enquiries please go here:- Asbestos Testing Enquiry
