Asbestos accreditations

Those companies that are serious about quality know that investing in independent accreditation communicates a clear commitment to the customer. At First Order Red we believe quality is the key building block on which trust is based which is why we are accredited as both a testing laboratory for our asbestos testing services and an inspection body for our asbestos surveys by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS).

What does UKAS accreditation mean?

In the words of UKAS, ‘Competence is crucial’. UKAS is the sole accreditation body recognised by the UK government to assess, against internationally recognised standards, organisations that provide inspection and testing services. First Order Red is accredited by UKAS to both the ISO 17020 and ISO 17025 standards which ensure we meet exacting quality standards in the delivery of both our asbestos inspection and asbestos testing service.

Being accredited by UKAS as both a testing laboratory and inspection body means that First Order Red has the people, facilities, technical expertise, management systems and track record to carry out our services professionally and competently. By using First Order Red you can be sure that you have taken the necessary steps as required by UK law to manage and minimise your Asbestos risks responsibly.

Why choose a UKAS accredited company?

Perhaps the question should be ‘why would you not choose a UKAS accredited asbestos consultancy company?’ When the potential consequences of failing to meet asbestos regulations are so severe using an independently audited and accredited asbestos consultant ensures that you have taken every reasonable step to meet your asbestos management responsibilities. The UKAS logos that we are allowed to display are an independent reassurance that First Order Red will deliver the right quality of service you need, not just a cheap price.

Unique UKAS accreditation at First Order Red

In addition to being a UKAS accredited testing laboratory and inspection body for asbestos, First Order Red are proud to be the first UK company to be UKAS accredited to perform asbestos fibre discrimination by light microscopy.

We are confident in our ability to deliver the right asbestos service for you and hope that our UKAS accreditation is a testament to our belief in quality. For further information about First Order Red's accredited asbestos testing and asbestos survey services please ask the experts.
