Read more →UKAS ISO 17025 is the United Kingdom Accreditation Service standard for testing laboratories. It is not a vanity badge — it is what separates evidence-grade testing from marketing, in every court that sits in Wales.
UKAS laboratories cannot sell treatments, chemicals, or replacement flooring. The report is never a sales tool — it is an evidence document.
Every measurement is fully documented: instrument calibration, environmental conditions, engineer qualifications. Every reading is reproducible.
UKAS reports are consistently accepted as expert evidence by Welsh County Courts, the High Court sitting at Cardiff, the HSE and every major insurer operating in Wales.
UKAS laboratories are audited every year by independent UKAS assessors. No self-certification. No shortcuts. No conflicts of interest.
Reports and correspondence available in Welsh upon request — relevant for Welsh Government, NHS Wales and local authority engagements where Cymraeg is preferred.
The same UKAS standard applies equally across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland — so portfolio clients with cross-border estates get consistent, comparable data from one provider.
The Pendulum Test Value (PTV) is the HSE's preferred slip resistance metric under BS 7976 / BS EN 16165. These are the UK Slip Resistance Group (UKSRG) thresholds — applicable equally in Wales, in both dry and wet (contaminated) conditions.
| PTV Value | Classification | Regulatory Position |
|---|---|---|
| 36+ | Low Slip Potential | Compliant · acceptable |
| 25 – 35 | Moderate Potential | Requires active risk management |
| Below 25 | High Slip Potential | Unacceptable — immediate action required |
