Both of our Directors have previously been involved in achieving the correct marketplace certifications for their companies. They understand the need for a fast and efficient service, as well as the pressures that delays can place on businesses. They are supported by our experienced Technical Advisors, Ian Turner and Andy Hayward. Both are experts in compliance and have over 40 years of experience in the field of legal metrology.
Once we have agreed on your audit dates and sent you the initial plan, you will be put in direct contact with your auditor, who will be available to answer and advise on any questions you may have about your audit or the auditing process. This makes it easy for you to address any issues in advance. We’ll also contact you 3 months before your surveillance audit is due with provisional dates and costs.
Achieving certification quickly is often a necessity for businesses, particularly when legislation has changed or you want to introduce a new weighing or measuring instrument to the market. Subject to the scope of your project, we aim to have you fully certified in 4-6 weeks (our current turnaround record is 2 weeks from initial application to certification). We’ll also notify you when your annual surveillance audit is due, giving you plenty of time to prepare and one less thing to remember.
Many of our auditors have previously worked in Local Authorities’ Trading Standards departments, and some as Inspectors of Weights and Measures. This means they are well-versed in identifying issues that may cause you problems further down the line and can advise accordingly.

“When our original approved body ceased certification for Measuring Instruments Regulations (Module A2) UKMB were recommended to us.
They very quickly advised us on a path forward. We had an audit within a short period with an experienced assessor who was professional and provided us with plenty of useful information and recommendations with which have improved our operations.
I would like to thank UKMB for their professionalism and the speed with which they processed our application and I would recommend them to anyone requiring capacity control certification.”

“I would like to thank you at UKMB for your assistance and guidance regarding the accreditation for capacity measuring. The audit was something which we were concerned about as we had new personnel in post. UKMB made the whole process as stress-free for us as they could and the audit went successfully. Their assistance and guidance with the whole process was very much appreciated.”
