Attain RTC construction product and materials testing laboratory
The current operator page identifies the Church Fenton facility and publishes fire, acoustic, façade and mechanical construction-product testing, furnace apertures, contact details and operator-stated UKAS laboratory number 27297. It labels PAS24 as coming soon, so the guide does not present PAS24 testing as current.
