Posted By Dave Wilson I work for a UKAS acredited Asbestos Surveying / removal Management Training etc etc company and to be quite honest Steve if you do not know what is required to become UKAS accredited should you really be doing this, as it is a very expensive business to become UKAS accredited initially and annually, it is akin to having a full time Quality Manager and a Full time Technical Manager if you are going to survive the annual UKAS Audit. If you are a one man band have you considered NIACS or ABICS who will do this for you, I know it is initially expensive but will be a UKAS Standard soon, look at the ARCA and NIACS www for info.

Posted By Stuart Nagle The surveying procedures are all about complying with the standard, namely MHDS 100. the UKAS procedures are about trails of evidence in respect of the surveying process, the results obtained, the records relating to the surveys and the internal auditing processes to ensure that the surveys were carried out correctly. UKAS audit these systems and procedures to ensure the standards applicable have been met or exceeded. Stuart

Posted By Steve Cartwright I made a typing error in my last response. I think it should be MHDS100 not MDH100.
