Until we receive an application for accreditation which details the size of your operation it is very difficult to provide you with an accurate estimate as to what it will cost you to become UKAS-accredited.
Please note all assessment fees are effort related; i.e. - dependent on the complexity of scope of accreditation being sought. These fees include not just the time the assessment team spend at your site but also office time. Travel and subsistence is charged at cost.
For a summary of the current UKAS fees please refer to the UKAS Fee Summary 2011/12
For all accredited customers seeking an extension to their scope of accreditation, please review the section on extension to scope.
