“When our original approved body ceased certification for Measuring Instruments Regulations (Module A2) UKMB were recommended to us.
They very quickly advised us on a path forward. We had an audit within a short period with an experienced assessor who was professional and provided us with plenty of useful information and recommendations with which have improved our operations.
I would like to thank UKMB for their professionalism and the speed with which they processed our application and I would recommend them to anyone requiring capacity control certification.”
