Test laboratory
A high quality service for manufacturers or regulators who needs product testing in the UK. We specialise in testing access equipment, such as portable ladders, scaffold towers and podiums, and care deeply about the need for these products to be as safe as they possibly can be.
Product testing
Whatever your challenge – maybe you’re frustrated at how costly it is to test so many different sizes of ladders from one range or maybe you need third-party surveillance on imported products – we think you’ll be impressed with what we can do.
Load testing
Static load-based testing of products and components, e.g. for load capacity or deflection validation
Component testing
Component testing for validation or Research & Development
Safety testing
Product safety testing or market surveillance testing
Working in accordance with international standard ISO 17025 for Testing Laboratories, we can:
- Test access products product to product standards like EN 131 and EN 1004
- Provide a test report
- Issue a Statement of Conformity, stating that the product tested complies with the requirements (note: this is not the same as a Certificate of Conformity, which would require full product testing)
Please contact us for a quote or more information on product testing. If you want to go further and have your product and production method fully tested to a standard, published specification or your own requirements, we can help with this too.





Gain your T&RGETMARK by having your product independently tested and certified by Test & Research Centre. We’ll ensure that both the product and its production method comply with a published Certification Scheme. The T&RGETMARK is Certification Mark, owned and managed by Test & Research Centre, and applied to qualifying products as a mark of quality assurance.
