SWL battery range from GS YUASA.
GS YUASA has become the first battery manufacturer to achieve IS17025 UKAS accreditation. The honour, gained by the testing facility at the GS YUASA Battery Manufacturing UK factory in Ebbw Vale, Wales will allow industrial VRLA batteries to the very highest standard available.
The United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) is the highest level of accreditation service in the world and the only accreditation body in the UK. It is a government recognised organisation which strives to assess companies that provide certification, testing, inspection and calibration services to internationally agreed assessment standards.In order to gain accreditation, GS YUASA’s state of the art laboratory had to meet specific and strict criteria. All equipment was regulated by UKAS and every employee operating in the laboratory needed to be audited. Both aspects will be monitored regularly. The accreditation allows GS YUASA to independently test their batteries in house.
