National laboratory roles
We proudly manage and operate a number of laboratories on behalf of the UK Government:
- UK National Measurement Laboratory (Chemical and bio-measurement)
- MHRA laboratories (Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency)
- National Reference Laboratory roles: Feed Additives / GMOs in food and feed (Regulation (EU) 2017/625)
We also host the unique function of the ‘Government Chemist’, which provides:
- independent resolution of technical appeals (referee cases) in the UK food and feed enforcement system and
- advice to government, the public sector and the wider analytical community on measurement science particularly when it relates to legislation and regulation.
