Test house continues accreditation and extends scope

Great news for our test house today our new UKAS scope has been published.

We put in some hard work this year and we have added elevated temperature tensile testing and Tantalum element recognition to our OES.

This now takes our scope to cover the following

METALS, ALLOYS and METAL PRODUCTS
Mechanical Tests
