Asbestos Consultancies

Asbestos consultancies are accredited by UKAS to ISO 17025 for testing and sampling and to ISO 17020 for surveys.

Even in the smallest organisation, the burden associated with maintaining this accreditation can be considerable.

DAC can provide technical advice and assistance with any part of the UKAS process, including;

The initial application
Drafting of quality manuals, procedures and system forms
Closing out improvement actions from UKAS visits
Site witness audits and authorisation
Surveyor and analyst refresher training
System audits and nonconforming work
Extensions to scope of accreditation
Interpretation of new guidance
