This award shows demand from NPL Management Limited for independent EMC testing of equipment against EN 61326-1:2021 and applicable UK and EU standards. A credible competitor would need to deliver pre-compliance assessment, emissions and immunity testing, clear technical reports and practical support for certification, including associated service expenses. The requirement points to a supplier with laboratory testing capability and the expertise to verify conformity and produce evidence suitable for compliance purposes. SGS United Kingdom Limited was selected, indicating that an established testing provider can meet this buyer’s requirement. The work was a single, focused testing assignment rather than a broad programme, so suppliers should be able to provide the specified testing and reporting as a complete service.
