Ensuring audit on time!

Alkali Environmental has been awarded UKAS and MCERTS accreditation for its emissions testing services. However, just three weeks before the MCERTS audit, a vital piece of the company’s in-house instrumentation required urgent service and repair, so the company faced the very real prospect of having to defer the audit.

Ready for action!

“UKAS and MCERTS accreditation are pre-requisites in many of our target markets in regulated processes and combustion plants,” explains Alkali Director Paul Adamczyk. “So, we were anxious to demonstrate full technical compliance for the key pollutant species and their calibration, during the audit. Conscious of current lead times for spare parts and service work, we were therefore extremely nervous. The instrument was a Signal Group 821S Gas Divider, which is an essential tool in our calibration work, so we made an urgent, and somewhat nervous, call to Signal.

“Happily, they completely understood our predicament, and promised to turn the repair around as quickly as possible. We therefore drove the instrument from Leeds to Signal’s factory in Surrey, and were absolutely delighted to have it returned to us within 22 hours!

“The gas divider had previously provided over three years of problem-free operation, so we were already very happy with Signal Group, but we were incredibly impressed with their rapid response to our request, and we are now looking to invest in more Signal equipment, such as their NOXGEN 3 NOx Converter Efficiency Tester.”

The Cert on time!

Alkali Environmental is one of Britain’s fastest growing stack testing companies. Paul says: “Our success is built on the experience and expertise of our staff, coupled with a comprehensive fleet of analytical equipment. In fact, we have more analysers than people!

“As an independent company, we are able to deliver a fast, reliable service and with a revolutionary cloud-based data management and reporting system, we are able to set new standards in response times and data quality. However, this high level of service can only be achieved with a comprehensive instrumentation capability, so we are fastidious in our selection of partners.”

Calibration service for EMC test products

Teseq has UKAS accreditation for on-site calibration of all EFT, PQT, Surge, pulse generators, Harmonic & Flickers analysers and offers “no down time” antenna calibration in its new purpose built chamber, avoiding delays caused by weather on open-field test sites.

Accreditation underwrites the competence of a calibration laboratory and provides confidence in all certificates and reports issued due to the implementation of widely accepted criteria set by the European (CEN) or international (ISO) standardisation bodies. These standards address issues such as impartiality, competence and reliability ensuring confidence in the compatibility of certificates and reports across national borders.

Subscribing to calibration services from EMC experts, who develop and manufacture EMC instruments, offers a unique level of service. The friendly and reliable TESEQ team has extensive product knowledge and many years of experience of calibration and repair of their own equipment and that of other major suppliers.

EMC calibration services provided by TESEQ include; harmonic and flicker calibration, magnetic field immunity generator calibration and a complete solution for EMC/RF calibration. For customer convenience they provide a door-to-door collection and delivery service of equipment for calibration.

TESEQ own 7 calibration laboratories around the world, 6 of which have National and International accreditations. They offer on-site calibration, fast-turnaround laboratory services of all types of EMC equipment from any manufacturer. Maintenance contracts are available as is an automatic calibration reminder service

Five of the seven TESEQ calibration laboratories are accredited by the following national accreditation authorities to EN ISO/IEC 17025 which is the latest international standard specifically addressing the performance of calibration laboratories
