 International recognition and accreditation 

UTAC is an internationally recognised test, certification and training organisation. UTAC has been accredited by many bodies and so you can have confidence in our expertise and impartiality.

Test laboratory 

UTAC is accredited by COFRAC as a test laboratory meeting the requirements of ISO 17025.

This confirms that UTAC complies with ISO 17025 for :

  • Technical expertise
  • Management system, to ensure the long-term validity and coherence of test and calibration results.

The requirements for the management system are defined in ISO 17025 and drawn up in a form appropriate for laboratory activities.

UTAC is also the official laboratory for EuroNCAP which is the European body responsible for assessing vehicle safety. UTAC, therefore, carries out these tests in its own laboratories.
