What is UKAS
UKAS is the UK's national accreditation body, ensuring testing and calibration organisations meet internationally recognised standards for accuracy, competence, and reliability.
UKAS, the United Kingdom Accreditation Service, is the national body responsible for accrediting organisations that carry out testing, calibration, inspection, and certification. UKAS accreditation demonstrates that these organisations meet internationally recognised standards for competence, accuracy, and reliability.
In this video, we explain:
• What UKAS is and why it matters
• How UKAS accreditation works
• Why UKAS is important for acoustic and vibration measurements
• How UKAS supports confidence in measurement results and compliance
If you’re involved in noise monitoring, vibration measurement, or acoustic consultancy, understanding UKAS is essential for ensuring reliable, traceable, and compliant measurements.
