ISO 17025 accreditation in Newcastle upon Tyne at a glance
Testing and calibration underpin Newcastle's subsea equipment makers, its life science researchers and its materials and energy suppliers. Laboratories around Newcastle Helix, the International Centre for Life and the Tyne's industrial sites need results that regulators and customers trust, which ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation demonstrates. Local business support comes from Newcastle City Council and Invest North East England, while legal and regulatory detail sits on the United Kingdom page. ISO/IEC 17025 sets competence, impartiality and consistent-operation requirements for testing and calibration laboratories, judged by an accreditation body. Sterling's London office serves Newcastle upon Tyne: Sterling plans, trains and prepares the evidence for ISO/IEC 17025, with Effivity and Sterling Academy included, and an accreditation body decides on accreditation after assessing the laboratory.

Which Tyneside laboratories seek ISO 17025 accreditation?
