SELECT’S inspection activities have retained accreditation with the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) for the 26th year in a row.
Accreditation against the internationally recognised standard for inspection bodies ISO/IEC 17020:2012 means the trade body continues to be officially recognised for the quality of its electrical installation inspection service.
In order for accreditation to be maintained, SELECT has been subject to annual assessment by UKAS since first attaining the status in 1998.
Bob Cairney, director of technical services, said, “Being UKAS accredited is extremely important to the association, its members and the wider public, so I would like to congratulate all the technical services team on the hard work that has resulted in yet again achieving a successful outcome from our UKAS audit at the end of 2024.
“Holding UKAS accredited status is another example of our commitment to quality in our 125th year and brings great confidence to consumers and the wider industry. It also demonstrates that our technical advisers have proved their competence to carry out installation inspections safely, impartially and to the highest standard.”
The assessment was coordinated by SELECT technical administrator Susie Liddle, who took on the duties of quality controller at The Walled Garden in 2022.
Bob added, “Susie has worked hard and should be rightfully proud of this achievement. I would also like to thank our independent adviser, Haig Hamilton, for his continued assistance.”
