6 June 2025 (Friday) - UKAS Update


The United Kingdom Accreditation Service sent their update today. You can read it by clicking here.

This time they were talking about how “training supports professional development in the conformity assessment sector”. However, as is always the case, they seemed to be talking in riddles. It is all very well referring to how something or other does or doesn’t fit in with their standards. But all the time you have to spend serious money to see what their standards actually are, there’s a large amount of guesswork going on.
I’m reminded of my days as a manager when another manager would always get his way by insisting that whatever he wanted was “an MHRA requirement”. As no one in the meetings ever knew what MHRA required, his demands were always met without argument.

Perhaps if the UKAS people were more open about their standards we might all learn something. After all their predecessor was quite open about what their standards were.
