We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "UKAS",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release EMC tests meet military standards from
3C Test, which we summarised at the time by saying "3C Test has received UKAS military equipment accreditation for its EMC test lab".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Testing company receives new accreditation from
Tin Technology: "RoHS testing specialist Tin Technology has been accredited by UKAS in accordance with ISO/IEC17025:2005".
In August 2007, we covered the news from Teseq
concerning its EMC calibration and repair services
- take a look at Upgrade for EMC calibration and repair
which says: "Expanded test facility now addresses all the needs of professional EMC test engineers".
Take a look also at the news release from SGS, Wireless testing expands in the UK,
as well as Compliance testing for measuring instruments from SGS,
and Radiated spurious emissions testing comes to Korea from RFI Global Services.
