Survey & consultation
We assess the site, the tests you run and your sample volume to establish what equipment, services and floor area the laboratory needs.
LABORATORY SET-UP
Consulting, design and fit-out for the laboratory you are building

From survey to handover
Design
Sample flow, separation of clean and contaminated zones, and the gas, water, power and ventilation services are all settled on the drawing.
Fit-out & renovation
Benching, fume cupboards, services and finishes are installed, including refits of a working laboratory without shutting it down.
Commissioning & handover
Commissioning, instrument calibration, operator training, and the technical file your assessor will ask for.
ISO/IEC 17025
What the standard asks of the room
Clause 6.3 covers the facility and its environmental conditions. These are the points a design has to answer before an assessor visits.
Environmental conditions
Temperature, humidity and pressure controlled, monitored and recorded.
Separation of areas
Incompatible activities kept apart so one test cannot contaminate another.
Laboratory safety
Fume extraction, emergency eyewash, escape routes and waste handling.
Building services
Clean gas, purified water and stable power delivered to each instrument position.
Access control
Access to areas that affect results is limited and recorded.
Documentation
As-built drawings, commissioning records and calibration certificates for the assessment.
