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.
