UK-based upholstery leather supplier, Yarwood Leather, has become the first such business in the UK to receive approval from the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) for its laborotaries and leather testing facilities at its headquarters in Leeds, in the north of England.

UKAS is the sole accreditation body in the UK recognised by the government to assess organisations offering certification, testing, inspection, and calibration services, to an international standard.

“Winning this approval is a further endorsement of our total commitment to achieving the highest possible quality levels for our products and services. The award is integral to ensuring that everything we supply conforms to the highest technical standards. Furthermore, we are now able to test and certify leather on behalf of retailers, furniture manufacturers, tanners, and leather suppliers all over the world,” commented Yarwood’s technical director, Matthew Nicholls.
