Accreditation for Engineering

Driving safety, conformity and quality outcomes across all areas of civil engineering

Accreditation works throughout the supply chain and across the project. Inspections ensure the safe and appropriate handling, storage and use of equipment and materials. Tests and measurements address performance expectations while certification schemes and codes of conduct for good safety and management practices. UKJAS accreditation supports the validity and competency of this activity and in many cases is required within specifications or under the relevant regulations.

Whether it’s acrane on a building site, the lifts within buildings, the steel structures that hold up bridges or the way the railways run, safety is key and quality performance, essential. The foundations of good civil engineering are based on accuracy of measurement, quality of raw material, technical excellence and skills in implementation. Engineering projects are also required to operate within health and safety requirements and frequently have to meet environmental requirements.
