Technical Materials Laboratory Redhill

Technical Materials LaboratoryRedhill, Surrey

UKAS schedule 1756 identifies Technical Materials Laboratory at Unit L Kingsfield Business Centre, Redhill, with testing only at that address. It lists chemical permeation/degradation methods for protective clothing, gloves and footwear, plus selected physical textile/fabric methods. Method-specific restrictions and excluded flammability work are retained.

Testing capabilities

Protective clothing chemical testing

The scope lists liquid/gas/solution chemical permeation using FTIR, ion-selective electrode or pH measurement, chemical resistance/degradation of protective gloves and prolonged chemical contact for protective footwear. Specific hydrofluoric-acid and mixture methods are separately listed.

Selected textile physical tests

Listed physical methods include flex cracking to ISO 7854 Method B only, strip tensile excluding wet testing, tear, abrasion, seam grab tensile and puncture resistance. The protective-clothing classification rows carry explicit exclusions including ignition resistance and flammability.

Standards and accreditation

UKAS 1756 — ISO/IEC 17025:2017
Issue 041 dated 4 April 2025 retains the named permeation and physical-test references, methods and exclusions. The schedule marks several older references withdrawn; no full protective-product compliance certificate is inferred.

What to confirm with the facility

  • Strip tensile excludes wet testing and flex cracking is Method B only. Protective-clothing classification has listed cleaning/flexing/pre-conditioning, liquid-penetration, pull-strength and ignition/flammability exclusions. Confirm the exact applicable subset.
  • Confirm chemical/specimen suitability, exposure technique, preparation, method edition, accredited report scope, availability and quotation.
