Appointment of a new Independent Laboratory Auditor

Posted: 26 May, 2020. Written by Molly Rogers

We are pleased to announce that through an open tender process, we have appointed the Open University to carry out independent audits to check the CCS and BCS Approved Laboratories’ conformance with their Terms and Conditions.

The audits will be led by Graham Howell, who has extensive research and development experience related to the PAS 100/110 test methods. Following a careful evaluation and interview period at REAL, the Open University was offered the contract. Graham will bring a fresh approach to the auditing regime with the audits now focussing on scheme-specific tests. We look forward to working with him and the OU team over the next few years!
