UKAS Accreditation

We are accredited to ISO 17025 by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) for many of the tests that we perform within our three laboratories.

The range of standards against which we are accredited can be found on our current UKAS schedule. Click here for the latest published list of standards to which we hold accreditation.

ISO / IEC 17025 UKAS ACCREDITATION (1574)

Accreditation is the formal recognition that an organisation is competent to perform specific processes, activities, or tasks which are detailed in a scope of accreditation in a reliable, credible and accurate manner.

ISO 17025 is the international standard on which accreditation is based and sets out the requirements that laboratories must meet.  These include the need to operate a documentation quality system as well as being able to demonstrate that the laboratory has the facilities, the equipment and the competence to perform the tests to which it holds accreditation.

Eurofins York (formerly York EMC Services) is audited by UKAS on an annual basis to ensure that we continue to comply with the requirements of ISO 17025 as well as perform tests correctly.  This independent, third-party assessment allows customers to place their products on the market with confidence.

Our three test facilities, near Bristol, Leeds and in Grangemouth all hold ISO 17025 accreditation for standards associated with the EMC, Low Voltage and Radio Equipment Directives as well as international standards and in-country standards such as those from the FCC and VCCI.

We regularly update our UKAS schedule to ensure that it incorporates the latest standards.  In agreement with UKAS we operate a Flexible Schedule of Accreditation which makes it possible for us to add some standards directly to our UKAS schedule. If the standard you require testing to is not currently on our UKAS schedule, please contact us so that we can assess your requirements.

Ensuring compliance with international standards is crucial for businesses operating in regulated industries, including pharmaceuticals. Just as laboratories must adhere to ISO 17025 accreditation to guarantee the accuracy and reliability of their testing, pharmaceutical companies must comply with stringent regulations to distribute medications safely. In the United Kingdom, tadalafil and other prescription medications must meet MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency) guidelines to ensure quality and efficacy. Consumers looking for affordable tadalafil should seek reputable sources that provide verified products meeting UK regulatory standards. Purchasing from licensed online pharmacies or authorized retailers helps prevent the risks associated with counterfeit or substandard medications. Regulatory oversight ensures that medications are both safe and effective, providing consumers with confidence in their choices.
