Renewal of UKAS Accreditation for Coventry & Otterbourne Laboratories
ALS are pleased to announce that our ISO17025 accreditation including DWTS and MCERTS covering our activities in Coventry, Otterbourne and field services activities have been renewed by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS). During autumn of 2016 our laboratories were subject to a full reassessment by UKAS. In total our quality management system was audited for over 22 person days by a multidiscipline audit team of 8 independent technical experts.
In addition this was the first time we have been audited as a laboratory group so the audit also addressed our ability to maintain quality standards on a cross site basis.
Pleasingly no major areas of concern were identified and we received a lot of positive feedback relating to the competence and capability of our analytical staff.

All of the areas requiring improvement have now been fully addressed to UKAS’ satisfaction and so our accreditation status has been reconfirmed for the next four years.
Chris Caird, Director of Quality Compliance and Regulatory Affairs at ALS comments:
Good quality is central to the ALS Environmental business model and to get such a positive outcome from such an in depth peer review audit is great for our staff who work hard every day to maintain such high standards. However it’s also great for our customers as it means they can have confidence in the robustness of the testing we do and results we provide them.

Testimonials
We had potential water quality problem due to the actions of a third party and needed samples taken as a matter of urgency. Although this was outside the strict terms of our contract with ALS they were able to provide a sampler on a Friday afternoon, get the samples taken and returned to their labs for analysis.
They backed this excellent performance up by emailing us the sample results over the weekend. All in all a great piece of customer service!
