Flexible UKAS Scope Accreditation

At Melbec Microbiology, we take pride in being leaders in adaptability, quality, and innovation. As the only contract testing laboratory awarded a flexible scope of UKAS accreditation for Phase 2, Step 1 biocidal suspension tests, we’re uniquely equipped to meet your needs.

 

What Makes Flexible Scope Accreditation a Game-Changer?

Traditionally, accreditation was rigidly defined under a fixed scope. Accreditation bodies like UKAS would specify every activity in detail, ensuring clarity but limiting flexibility. While this approach offers certainty, it often requires lengthy approval processes to add or modify activities, leaving businesses unable to adapt quickly to emerging needs.

Flexible scope accreditation changes this, by allowing us to expand our services within pre-defined boundaries, empowering us to respond quickly to new requirements without waiting for additional approvals.

 

How Does Flexible Scope Benefit You?

Our flexible scope accreditation covers areas such as:

  • Specific industries or product types
  • Additional testing organisms for enhanced claim support

This means we can perform tests like EN 17126, EN 13624, EN 13727, EN 14348, EN 1656, and EN 1657 under UKAS accreditation—without delays. For industries where time is critical, this agility provides a competitive edge while maintaining the highest standards of quality and compliance.

 

Why Choose Melbec Microbiology?

We’re not just about flexibility; we’re about delivering trusted, reliable results. All activities under our flexible scope are rigorously validated and compliant with UKAS standards. Our accreditation—both flexible and fixed scope—ensures you receive tailored, high-quality testing services with complete transparency and trust.

Additionally, we are accredited to carry out any Phase 2, Step 1 test across Medical, Veterinary, and FIDI fields of application. From bactericidal to fungicidal, sporicidal, and mycobactericidal testing, we offer comprehensive support for your biocidal suspension testing needs.
