Our UKAS Accredited Calibration Laboratory
Accredited to 17025
We’re proud to be accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS), ensuring our laboratory practices meet ISO/IEC 17025 standards.
Accredited to 17025
The Importance of UKAS Accreditation for Radiation Instrument Calibration
UKAS ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation is the gold standard for calibration labs. It provides independent assurance that our measurements are accurate, reliable, and traceable to NPL national standards.
For organisations under UK radiation legislation, using a UKAS-accredited lab is the recognised way to prove compliance with IRR17 Schedule 4 requirements for “suitable and sufficient” instrumentation.
UKAS calibration certificates are accepted by the HSE, Environment Agency, ONR, and CQC as evidence of instrument traceability and accuracy.
Every calibration is traceable through an unbroken chain of comparisons to NPL national standards, providing metrological confidence in your measurements.
UKAS conducts regular assessments of our laboratory against ISO 17025 - you benefit from independent scrutiny of our technical competence, not just our word.
Ionising Radiations Regulations 2017
All radiation monitoring instruments must be properly maintained and calibrated. Schedule 4 requires them to be suitable for their intended use, which means they must have traceable calibration.
Environmental Permitting Regulations 2016
Governs radioactive substances regulation in England and Wales. Calibrated monitoring equipment is required to demonstrate compliance with permit conditions and discharge limits.
Environmental Authorisation (Scotland) Regulations 2018
Scotland's equivalent regulatory framework requiring calibrated instrumentation to support environmental monitoring and radioactive waste management compliance.
Radiation Emergency Preparedness Regulations 2019
Requires emergency monitoring equipment to be maintained in calibrated condition, ready for deployment in the event of a radiation emergency.
The international standard for testing and calibration laboratory competence, impartiality, and consistent operation.
- Technical Competence Verified
- Impartiality Assured
- Traceable Reference Standards
Common questions from radiation protection professionals, and compliance managers about UKAS calibration requirements and our services.
What is UKAS accreditation and why does it matter for calibration?
UKAS (United Kingdom Accreditation Service) is the sole national accreditation body recognised by the UK government to assess organisations providing testing, calibration, and inspection services against internationally agreed standards (such as ISO/IEC 17025).
Â
UKAS accreditation matters because it provides independent verification that a calibration laboratory operates to the highest technical competence, measurement accuracy, and quality management standards. Using a UKAS-accredited laboratory ensures full metrological traceability to national standards, helping you satisfy statutory safety audits and regulatory compliance requirements.
How often should radiation monitoring instruments be calibrated?
Under Regulation 20 of the Ionising Radiations Regulations 2017 (IRR17) and its associated Approved Code of Practice (ACoP), radiation protection and monitoring instruments must be adequately tested and calibrated at least once every 12 months.
Â
Additionally, instruments must undergo performance testing before being used for the first time, or following any significant repair, physical damage, or suspected malfunction.
What documentation will I receive with my calibrated instrument?
Upon successful completion of the calibration process, you will receive:
UKAS Calibration Certificate: An official certificate detailing the measurement results, expanded uncertainties, environmental conditions during testing, and direct traceability back to national standards.
Calibration Sticker/Label: Affixed directly to your instrument displaying the test date, certificate number, and recommended next calibration due date.
Examination Report: Detailed breakdown of pre-calibration checks, initial response tests, and pass/fail criteria verified by a Qualified Person.
What happens if my instrument fails calibration?
If your instrument fails to meet required tolerance levels, sensitivity, or linearity standards during testing:
Detailed Reporting: You will receive a non-conformance report outlining the specific parameters or measurements that failed.
Adjustment or Repair Quote: We will contact you with an assessment of whether the unit can be adjusted, repaired, or needs component replacement.
Recalibration: Once repaired, the instrument will undergo a complete calibration sequence to issue a valid certificate.
Decommissioning Advice: If the instrument is beyond economic repair (BER), we will advise on suitable replacement options to maintain your site safety standards.
How do I book a UKAS calibration?
Booking a UKAS calibration with us is straightforward:
- Submit your calibration request and ship instruments with the consignment form to our lab.
- After your instruments have been received, you’ll be receive confirmation of arrival.
- Customers can request access to our portal to track the calibration process of their instrument.
- After a successful calibration, instruments and certificate are returned to you.
