Key facts
- Main laboratory and postcode discrepancies
- The owner identifies Unit 32, Four Ashes Enterprise Park/Centre, Latherford Close, Four Ashes, Wolverhampton, West Midlands WV10 7BY, United Kingdom. The schedule literally prints WV10 7BY2, and the current UKAS result gives WV10 7EL. These discrepancies require sample-delivery confirmation, without a relocation inferred.
- Current official schedule
- UKAS laboratory 20132 is accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 for its printed material/method rows. Current issue 009 is dated 1 July 2025, and both complete pages were inspected on 1 October 2026. Testing is at the main address only.
- Separate force and material scope
- The schedule gives 10–1200 kN for reinforcing-material proof/tensile stress, coupler tensile and component proof loading separately. No numerical welded reinforcing-bar tensile/shear range is assigned. Withdrawn editions remain explicitly labelled in the schedule.
- Owner and schedule contacts
- The owner publishes general@professionaltestsolutions.co.uk and +44 1902 858012. The schedule separately publishes Sharon.pearson@professionaltestsolutions.co.uk and names Sharon Pearson as a contact, without a present job role inferred.
Testing capabilities
Scheduled reinforcing-material mechanical and hardness tests
For the printed carbon/stainless/clad reinforcement bars, wire, welded fabrics and prestressing bars/wire/strand materials, the schedule lists proof/tensile stress at 10–1200 kN, bend/rebend and Vickers HV10 hardness to BS EN ISO 6507-1:2023. Exact BS EN ISO 15630, BS 4449, BS 4482/4483/4486 and BS EN ISO 6892-1 rows apply. BS 4449:1997, BS 4482:1985 and BS 4483:1998 are explicitly withdrawn entries.
Scheduled reinforcing-material dimensional tests
The material-specific dimensional rows cover relative rib area, effective cross-sectional area, projected/relative rib area, elongation after tensile break and Agt. Exact BS EN ISO 15630-1/-2/-3:2019, BS 4449:2005+A3:2016 and BS 4482/4483:2005 references apply where printed. Older entries retain their withdrawn labels, without unrestricted metrology or dimensional ranges inferred.
Scheduled reinforcement coupler tensile testing
Mechanical splices/couplers for concrete reinforcement have a separate tensile row at 10–1200 kN. It cites BS 4449:2005+A3:2016, BS EN ISO 15630-1:2019 and BS 8597:2015, plus BS 4449:1997 explicitly withdrawn. This coupler range is not assigned to welded reinforcing-bar testing.
Scheduled welded reinforcing-bar tests and macro examination
For welded carbon and stainless reinforcing bar, the schedule separately lists tensile, weld shear and macro examination. Printed references include BS 6744:2023, BS EN ISO 15630-2:2019 and BS EN ISO 17660-1:2006 for the mechanical rows, with BS 8548:2017, BS EN ISO 5817:2023, BS EN ISO 15614-1:2017+A1:2019 and BS EN ISO 17639:2022 for macro examination. No numerical welded-bar force range is printed.
Scheduled component proof loading
Components have a separate proof-loading row at 10–1200 kN using documented in-house method PTS-17025-TP01. This row does not establish an unrestricted component geometry, specimen size, loading arrangement or another method’s force capacity. Agree the item and fixture directly.
Equipment and published limits
| Specification | Published value | Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| Reinforcing-material proof and tensile stress | Force 10–1200 kN | Printed page 1 reinforcing-material stress row only. Exact material/method/fixture conditions apply, without extending this range to bend, hardness or welded-bar methods. |
| Mechanical splice/coupler tensile | Force 10–1200 kN | Separate page 2 coupler tensile row for concrete reinforcement. This is not a welded-bar tensile or shear range. |
| Component proof loading | Force 10–1200 kN | Separate page 2 components row using documented in-house method PTS-17025-TP01. Item/fixture compatibility needs confirmation. No equipment model, specimen size or calibration status is inferred. |
Access and contact
Use general@professionaltestsolutions.co.uk or +44 1902 858012 for the owner’s enquiry route. The schedule’s Sharon.pearson email remains separate. Confirm the exact delivery address across WV10 7BY / WV10 7BY2 / WV10 7EL, then agree the reinforcing material, weld/coupler/component identity, specimen geometry, fixture, exact method edition, force requirements, report and programme.

Standards and accreditation
- UKAS 20132 main-site material/method scope
- Current issue 009 dated 1 July 2025 is limited to the main Unit 32 test address and the exact printed material/property/method rows. Force ranges are row-specific. BS 4449:1997, BS 4482:1985 and BS 4483:1998 remain labelled withdrawn, without presenting them as current replacement editions.
- Owner assurance and broader services
- Owner materials/chemical analysis, CARES accreditation support, project planning and broad quality-assurance wording do not add accredited methods to the retained schedule. Laboratory investment, controlled-condition and rapid-outcome advertising do not establish calibration, equipment model, numerical operating envelopes or guaranteed turnaround.
What to confirm with the facility
- The owner’s WV10 7BY, schedule’s literal WV10 7BY2 and register’s WV10 7EL require exact delivery confirmation. Enterprise Park/Centre wording and named schedule contact remain separately recorded. No address normalisation or current person-role inference is made.
- Apply the exact material/method row and its withdrawn labels. The separate reinforcing-stress, coupler-tensile and component-proof 10–1200 kN ranges do not create a welded-bar range or general machine capacity. Owner chemical/CARES and quality-planning offers do not extend accredited method scope.
- Provide material grade, item identity, weld/coupler/component details, specimen drawing, fixture and force requirements, intended method/edition, reporting needs and programme so the provider can confirm suitability and cost.

Sources and review
Reviewed by Arc on 1 October 2026 in Europe/London using five fresh official sources and both complete pages of current UKAS 20132 issue 009. Five concise material-specific groups and three separately printed force ranges are mapped. Withdrawn standard labels remain explicit, without a force range transferred to welded-bar testing or owner chemical/CARES support transferred into accreditation. Owner postcode WV10 7BY is retained with the schedule’s literal WV10 7BY2 and current register WV10 7EL disclosed for delivery confirmation. Owner general and schedule Sharon.pearson contacts remain distinct without a present role claim. Original bodies, redirect headers, retrieval metadata, titles, canonicals, WebPage dates, PDF extraction and full page renders are retained. Issue date 1 July 2025 and PDF creation/modification on 2 July 2025 are separate from this review and page dates. UKAS template and copyright dates do not update scope. Prior owner body bytes differ but normalised visible text is identical, recorded with both hashes, while prior schedule bytes remain identical and unchanged. Imported postcode coordinates are cleared.

UKAS Professional Test Solutions schedule 20132, issue 009
Current UKAS 20132 issue 009 dated 1 July 2025 names Professional Test Solutions, Unit 32, Four Ashes Enterprise Park, Wolverhampton, and literally prints WV10 7BY2. Both complete pages were visually inspected. Five selected groups cover material-specific reinforcement mechanical/HV10 and dimensional tests, coupler tensile, welded reinforcing-bar tensile/shear/macro and component proof loading. The 10–1200 kN ranges remain attached only to the printed reinforcement stress, coupler tensile and component proof rows. No numerical welded-bar force range is inferred. BS 4449:1997, BS 4482:1985 and BS 4483:1998 remain labelled withdrawn. PDF creation/modification on 2 July 2025 at 14:48:39 +01:00 is separate metadata. Schedule Sharon.pearson email is distinct from the owner general route.
UKAS Professional Test Solutions current laboratory 20132 result
The current official result links laboratory 20132 to the same Unit 32, Four Ashes Enterprise Park, Wolverhampton but prints WV10 7EL. Owner contact uses WV10 7BY and the schedule literally WV10 7BY2. Discrepancies are retained for delivery confirmation, without silently normalising or inventing a relocation. Generic WebPage template dates in 2020 and 2022 do not update this result.
