Certification
Third-party certification distinguishes products and services from their competitors, and gives customers confidence about their performance.
We provide independent, third-party certification of fire, security and environmental products and services. Our status as a UKAS accredited laboratory reflects our competence and impartiality.
Certification gives you confidence that products and services will perform as expected. It ensures that they meet - and continue to meet - appropriate standards, through a combination of regular company audits and a schedule of ongoing tests. It benefits both suppliers and purchasers:
Suppliers can demonstrate to customers that their products and services will meet the appropriate standards. This can enable companies to access and sell into new markets.
Purchasers can trust third-party certified products and services to meet set standards, and therefore avoid costly mistakes and reduce risk.
Our third-party certification services include:
