Accreditation Status
IRAS Active Analytics is UKAS accredited testing laboratory No. 30011. The
ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation covers our management system and specific test
/ matrix combinations.
The current scope of the test specific accreditation can be
verified on the UKAS website.
Planned Extensions
We are currently working on extending our existing scope to include the following:
- Strontium-90 by radiochemistry and liquid scintillation counting
- Iron-55 by radiochemistry and liquid scintillation counting
- Nickel-63 by radiochemistry and liquid scintillation counting
- High resolution gamma spectrometry
- Alpha emitting isotopes of plutonium by radiochemistry and alpha
- spectrometry
- Tritium and carbon-14 by pyrolysis and liquid scintillation counting
This is a major undertaking involving the investment of several thousand hours of
laboratory staff time and significant external costs (participation in Proficiency Test
Exercises, purchase of metrologically traceable reference materials etc.)
