The Test House gains UKAS accreditation for digital radiography

13/10/2017

TWI’s subsidiary, The Test House, has been awarded UKAS (United Kingdom Accreditation Service) accreditation for its digital radiography services, becoming one of just three facilities in the UK to have this award.

Digital radiography is the latest area of non-destructive testing (NDT) for The Test House to gain this award. The Test House is now also able to offer expert witness verification in digital radiography NDT carried out under the scope of this accreditation.

UKAS accreditation ensures inspection repeatability and adheres to agreed inspection tolerance limits, with all results reported to UKAS standards. Not only does this award offer The Test House further credibility, but also opens up the potential for work from new clients that will only accept UKAS-accredited services.

UKAS accreditation involves a regular assessment that helps improve efficiency and quality by frequently reviewing the whole inspection process, including equipment maintenance and calibration, the goods inwards/outwards process, inspection reporting and management.

Offering services to investigate weld failures and materials qualification, among others, this latest award firmly places the TWI facility among the best in the UK for digital radiography.
