Key facts

Accredited Durham testing site: UKAS schedule 7670, issue 019 dated 16 January 2026, identifies Axis Test Laboratories at Unit 11A, Oakway Court, Meadowfield Industrial Estate, Durham, DH7 8XD. It states that the organisation is accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and that testing is performed at that address only.
Published environmental testing scope: The UKAS schedule lists aerospace materials among materials and products tested for environmental tests and publishes climatic, vibration and half-sine shock entries. Applicability depends on the detailed test entry, conditions and standard.
Contact route: Axis’s current contact page lists the Durham address, telephone number and email address, and provides a contact form.

Testing capabilities

Climatic environmental testing

The UKAS schedule lists non-explosive environmental-test entries for dry heat to +100 °C, excluding heat-dissipating samples; cold to −40 °C; and humidity from 10% RH to 98% RH at 55 °C, excluding simultaneous vibration testing.

Vibration and shock testing

The UKAS schedule lists sinusoidal, random and sine-on-random vibration at ambient temperature, each with a 2 to 3,000 Hz frequency range and 1,000 kg static load. It also lists half-sine shock at ambient temperature with 50 gn maximum severity, 5–30 ms pulse width and 1,000 kg static load.

Equipment and published limits

Published equipment limits and conditions
Specification	Published value	Conditions
Published climatic scope entries	Dry heat: +100 °C maximum; cold: −40 °C minimum; humidity: 10% RH to 98% RH at 55 °C	These are separate UKAS schedule entries. Dry heat excludes heat-dissipating samples, and humidity excludes simultaneous vibration testing. Confirm the required method, sample and configuration for a particular programme.
Published vibration scope entries	Sinusoidal, random and sine-on-random vibration: 2 to 3,000 Hz; displacement written as “Max pk/pk displacement: +/-25 mm”; 1,000 kg static load	The UKAS schedule lists these values at ambient temperature for each named vibration entry. Confirm waveform, standard, sample and fixture for a particular programme. The displacement notation combines pk/pk and +/−; confirm whether the intended limit describes total peak-to-peak travel or excursion. Static load is not a verified dynamic test payload.
Published half-sine shock entry	50 gn maximum severity; 5–30 ms pulse width; 1,000 kg static load	The UKAS schedule lists this half-sine shock entry at ambient temperature. Confirm method, sample and fixture for a particular programme.

Standards and accreditation

ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation: UKAS schedule 7670 states that Axis Test Laboratories is accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and that testing is performed at the listed Durham address only. The detailed schedule defines the test scope, methods and conditions.

What to confirm with the facility

The UKAS schedule sets out tests, methods and conditions by scope entry. Do not treat ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation as covering every service, configuration or requested test without confirming the applicable entry.
The reviewed sources provide a contact route but do not publish current availability, capacity, quotation terms, lead time, sample acceptance or reporting terms. Obtain these directly from Axis before arranging shipment.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Durham site accredited to ISO/IEC 17025?

UKAS schedule 7670 states that Axis Test Laboratories is accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and that testing is performed at Unit 11A, Oakway Court, Meadowfield Industrial Estate, Durham, DH7 8XD only. The schedule defines the detailed scope, methods and conditions, so confirm the applicable entry for a particular programme.

Does the published environmental-test scope include aerospace materials?

The UKAS schedule lists aerospace materials among materials and products tested for environmental tests. That does not establish suitability for every item or method; confirm the relevant scope entry, standard and test conditions with the provider.

What vibration range does the UKAS schedule list?

For sinusoidal, random and sine-on-random vibration at ambient temperature, the UKAS schedule lists 2 to 3,000 Hz and 1,000 kg static load. These are separate named entries, so confirm the required waveform, standard, sample and fixture for a particular programme.
