First UK Gases Company to Be Accredited to ISO Guide 34

BOC are the first commercial gases company in the UK to be accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) to ISO Guide 34: 2000 ‘General requirements for the competence of reference material producers’ as a Reference Material Producer.

BOC have been accredited to ISO 17025 ‘General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories’ as a Calibration Laboratory (previously M10) since 1991 and has latterly provided an extensive range of accredited gas calibration mixtures to facilitate environmental measurements, analysis of natural gas and petrochemicals, evidential breath-analyser calibrations and exhaust emissions measurements.

Accreditation as both a Reference Material Producer for gases and as a Calibration Laboratory ensures that a consistent and technically robust approach is taken to the production and certification of gas calibration mixtures including the comparability of measurements and certification data. All aspects of the process from contract review through preparation, analysis and certification are covered – this allows us to continue to provide our customers with a quality product meeting current and future needs!
