What the test price covers
An accredited test is a whole process, not just a measurement:
- ✓Sample preparation — intake, conditioning, sometimes disassembly or grinding.
- ✓Calibration and upkeep of the instruments — so the result is reliable.
- ✓The accredited test itself — a standardised method with internal quality checks (control samples that confirm the measurement is sound).
- ✓Evaluation by a qualified specialist — with the measurement uncertainty stated.
- ✓A formal accredited test report — the basis for your Declaration of Conformity.
- ✓Disposal of the samples and waste — in line with regulations.
- ✓Upkeep of the accreditation and quality system — the cost of credibility.
