By adding to our existing UKAS accreditation, TesTex NDT Limited has been awarded UKAS 17020 as a Type A Inspection Body for Major, Intermediate and Minor Pressure Systems, meaning that we are now Internationally recognised for our work in this area, which encompasses our Inspection Services and Written Schemes of Examination.

Simon Mackenzie, MD comments “It’s been a long process to gain the award. Being recognised for our work is a real tribute to the hard work put in by the staff. To our customers, it provides an absolute assurance we are able to provide services to internationally recognised standards and regulations. I couldn’t be prouder”

The move comes on the back of the significant demand seen for our Integrity Services over the past two years. The Asset Integrity Department now supports a number of Engineers who work closely with other site engineers, Inspectors and NDT Technicians to help manage the full lifecycle of the customers static assets. On this basis, TesTex now helps to look after numerous customer sites engaged in manufacturing, energy from waste, coatings/ paint and bulk storage.
