CABLE TESTING AND INSPECTION SERVICES

Following years of investment in our laboratory and qualified personnel, The Cable Lab can undertake a number of tests under our UKAS accreditation, which confirms the competence and impartiality of the test results. Additionally, we undertake or commission and oversee a wider range of cable tests beyond the bounds of our accreditation, but conducted with the same degree of diligence and accuracy, meaning results are both verifiable and can be relied upon.
