UKAS accreditation is granted to organisations who have demonstrated that they fully meet the requirements of relevant national and international standards.
Who seeks accreditation?
UKAS accredits testing laboratories, medical laboratories, calibration laboratories, certification bodies, inspection bodies, proficiency testing providers, reference material producers, diagnostic imaging services, physiological services, medical reference measurement laboratories and notified bodies.
NOTE: There are differing requirements for applications for accreditation from organisations based outside the United Kingdom. Further information is available below.
Information about applications for accreditation from organisations based outside of the United Kingdom is available on our Overseas (non UK) application page
We appreciate the journey to accreditation can be daunting, with this in mind we’ve created a series of Readiness Self-assessment Tools. Start your self-assessment against the expectations of international standards and find out how ready you are to apply – click here.
