UKAS Materials Testing Laboratory
Our Group's UKAS Materials Testing Laboratory provides our customers with various benefits unavailable from a typical stockholder.
Traditionally, customers in the engineering sector buy materials from a stockholder and, where necessary, get the material tested/inspected via a third-party testing house.
Thanks to our Group's UKAS Laboratory, when purchasing from TSM Steel, this is no longer the case.
Consider the Benefits:
- No need to outsource material testing, inspection or investigations
- Much faster response times
- Additional metallurgical support
- A broad range of testing methods to cover most eventualities
Continual Investment:
Smiths Technical Services is based in Biggleswade. The UKAS-accredited facility has seen considerable investment over the years and is now moving to a dedicated, state-of-the-art facility in 2023.
The new site is a few hundred yards away from their current facility at Smiths bulk warehouse in Biggleswade.
The brand-new facility, which will open during the Summer, will allow the Group's laboratory to expand its range of testing and inspection services to benefit a wider audience. The new laboratory will be purpose-built in the new building.
The laboratory directly links to our quality management system (QMS), which forms the foundation of our industry-leading bespoke IT platform, allowing for a much broader continuity of service.
The Group's UKAS materials testing laboratory also helps educate our employees on how materials are tested and why this is important for our customers.
