The work covered pre-compliance testing, emissions and immunity testing, technical reporting, certification support and associated expenses. Its purpose was to provide independent verification against applicable UK and EU EMC standards and produce supporting test reports. This is specialist technical testing and laboratory services, relevant to providers able to assess electrical and electronic equipment for electromagnetic compatibility. The delivery location is recorded as the United Kingdom; no more specific place is identified.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to SGS United Kingdom Limited. The award is active, and the contract is also recorded as active.

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.
