UKAS assessments
The annual cycle of UKAS assessments of Forensic Services started on 9th October with a three-day visit to the Aberdeen laboratory. It continued with five days in Dundee, and will include three days in Edinburgh and a full week at the Scottish Crime Campus as well as further visits. Forensic Services have been accredited by UKAS to ISO17025, the rigorous standard for testing laboratories, for more than 20 years – this provides third party quality assurance on the technical and managerial standards in place.
