R-TECH Materials, one of the UK’s leading independent materials testing laboratories, has successfully renewed its ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 accreditation certificates with LRQA, reaffirming its commitment to quality management, environmental sustainability, and workplace safety.

These internationally recognised certifications ensure R-TECH maintains the highest standards across its operations: ISO 9001 guarantees robust quality management systems, ISO 14001 underscores responsible environmental practices, and ISO 45001 highlights the company’s commitment to occupational health and safety.

In addition to these renewals, R-TECH holds the largest scope of UKAS-accredited testing for composite materials in the UK, further strengthening its position as an industry leader. The company is also Nadcap accredited, meeting the stringent testing standards required by the aerospace and defense sectors, and has recently obtained Cyber Essentials Plus certification, reinforcing its commitment to cybersecurity and data protection.

“Renewing our ISO accreditations with LRQA underscores our unwavering commitment to quality, sustainability, and safety,” said Dr. Geraint Havard, Director of Technical & Compliance at R-TECH Materials. “With our extensive UKAS scope, Nadcap accreditation, and Cyber Essentials Plus certification, we continue to deliver the highest standards of testing and compliance across multiple industries.”

Uniquely, R-TECH has been awarded a flexible scope of accreditation by UKAS, enabling the laboratory to self-accredit for new tests within pre-agreed boundaries. This allows R-TECH to respond rapidly to industry demands, delivering bespoke testing solutions with full accreditation, offering customers the highest level of confidence in their test results.

As industries increasingly prioritise accredited testing, particularly in response to major safety concerns, such as post-Grenfell fire testing regulations, R-TECH’s commitment to maintaining a broad and rigorous accreditation portfolio ensures it remains the trusted choice for critical materials testing.
