Accreditation & Certification

UKAS Accreditation

We have been examined and accredited as a test laboratory for full-scale wave and tidal test facilities by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS).

We are the first and only centre of our kind anywhere in the world to win this mark of quality, which enables us to provide independent, internationally recognised verification of the performance of the devices we test at our grid-connected test sites.

To achieve accreditation, we have developed an Integrated Management System (IMS) as a clear commitment to quality, health, and safety management. This has been created to meet the in requirements in ISO/IEC 17025, ISO/IEC 17020, BS EN ISO 9001, ISO/IEC 45001 and ISO/IEC 14001.
