In order to enhance customer’s confidence in the analysis provided by LPD Laboratory Services we have implemented a quality management system which adheres to the very stringent requirements of ISO 17025:2005. We have chosen a broad range of specific tests which are accredited (list below). However, the quality system is applied to all aspects of the laboratory regardless of whether an accredited test is chosen or not.

• Water Content by Karl Fischer Analysis
• Conductivity of Solutions - method 2002
• pH Measurement of Solutions  - method 2003
• Environmental Monitoring of Metals Using Thin Films and XRF; Pb, Cd, Zn, Fe, Ni, Cr
• Titrimetry of Nitric Acid
• Trace Metals in Effluent Using AAS; Ni, Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, Zn
• Lead (Pb) in Paint by AAS

Bespoke analytical method development methods may become UKAS accredited on request.

To maintain our accreditation we are audited annually by UKAS but we also have our own team of internal auditors who audit the quality system on a regular basis in between.
