Our Experience

Safety barriers and cushions to BS EN1317 - we test these systems to enable companies to be accepted onto the Highways Agency's approved products list and, as a notified test house, can offer a full CE Marking service through our exclusive agreement with BSI Product Services.

TRACS/SCANNER - TRL currently undertakes the certification of road surface condition monitoring vehicles on behalf of the Highways Agency (TRACS) and the Department for Transport (SCANNER). TRL assesses the performance of the TRACS/SCANNER survey vehicles against an agreed specification and grants certification on the basis of this and an ongoing QA assessment programme.

Child safety - We've extended our UKAS-accredited scope under ISO17025 to cover ECE R44 assessment - TRL is the first UK test facility officially recognised to conduct Regulation 44 performance testing on child seats. Under the International Accreditation Forum's Multi Lateral Agreement, UKAS accreditation is recognised worldwide and accepted by all R44 certification bodies. As a 'technical service provider' TRL can cover the entire R44 assessment process and guide manufacturers through to certification.

Aggregates - The Becton joint venture between Clancy Docwra and GKL was the first aggregate recycling operation in England to receive TRL's Certificate of Approval for their Quality Management System controlling their recycling processes for aggregates. This Certification from TRL gives assurance that their aggregates are being produced to meet the requirements of BS EN 13242, BS EN 12620, BS EN 13285 and SHW Clause 1043.

TRL has also assessed and certified a group of aggregate producers in Jersey, against a bespoke TRL Quality Systems Standard. This certification has provided them with an entry on their prime customer's list of approved suppliers, bringing added value to all parties. 

Motor sport - TRL is an FIA approved test house carrying out development and FIA-witnessed compliance tests for F1 teams and other FIA-governed formulas. We've invested in leading-edge test rigs for testing the safety structures required on cars racing in the higher formulas.
