Accreditation

ISO 9001 and ISO 45001 certifications are integral to ensuring our commitment to safety, quality, and continuous improvement in the non-destructive testing of lighting columns and masts. ISO 9001 guarantees that we maintain rigorous quality management systems to deliver reliable and consistent results, while ISO 45001 ensures that we prioritise the health and safety of our team and clients throughout every stage of the testing process. These accreditations reflect our dedication to maintaining high standards, minimising risks, and adhering to best practices. As a company, we take safety seriously by implementing robust safety protocols, conducting regular risk assessments, and providing ongoing training to our staff, ensuring that all testing activities are carried out in a secure and controlled environment. This not only protects the well-being of everyone involved but also assures our clients of the accuracy and integrity of our services.

We are proud to be registered with the Highway Electrical Registration Scheme (HERS) which we renew annually.
As part of our commitment to excellence and compliance, all our technicians undergo comprehensive training and achieve HERS qualifications, equipping them with the expertise required to carry out inspections to the highest standards.
