Sources and review
Arc reviewed UKAS schedule 28181 and the public caltest.co.uk routes on 30 September 2026. The schedule establishes the listed Cal-Test laboratory. The public site identifies Caltest Instruments in Petersfield, a different business and address, so it is not used as this laboratory’s website or enquiry route.
