Quality Assurance

East Riding Laboratories has held continuous UKAS accreditation for asbestos bulk identification since 2001.

Our analysts are trained to the highest standards, extremely experienced and work to stringent quality assurance requirements as set out by our internal management system. East Riding Laboratories’ test method fully complies with ISO 17025:2017 and HSG248 Asbestos: The analysts’ guide for sampling analysis and clearance procedures. Samples are retained for a minimum of 6 months and written records for at least 5 years.

In conjunction with our UKAS accreditation, we participate in the nationwide AIMS (Asbestos in Materials Scheme) co-ordinated by the Health and Safety Executive which assesses the performance of laboratories carrying out the identification of asbestos in bulk materials. A copy of our cumulative AIMS performance is available on request.
