The Test & Research Centre is a UK-based Certification Body, Test Laboratory and training facility that specialises in access equipment. They provide ladder and mobile access tower testing and certification services for manufacturers, importers and regulators, to check that products conform with current British and European Standards.

They work with, and are supported by, the Ladder Association and PASMA (Prefabricated Access Suppliers’ and Manufacturers’ Association), the leading not-for-profit industry bodies in their sectors.

Led by General Manager, John Darby, the Test & Research Centre also work closely with the Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) and Trading Standards teams across the UK to offer advice, support and market surveillance testing on consumer access equipment.

Their premises were designed from top to bottom (from the 25m high roof to concrete floor, in fact) with the Work at Height industry in mind. For people who care about height safety, from people who feel the same way.
