Original Statement (10th July 2026)
TWI Certification Ltd’s (TWI Cert) accreditation for ISO / IEC 17024 has been temporarily suspended by UKAS (United Kingdom Accreditation Service) and as a result TWI Cert is currently unable to issue UKAS accredited certificates while the suspension remains in place.
We appreciate this may cause concern and we want to reassure you that we are working closely with UKAS to address the verification matters that led to the suspension. As a result, any decisions regarding certification will be placed on hold until the suspension has been lifted. Our priority is to restore our accreditation as quickly as possible to enable us to continue issuing UKAS accredited Certificates.
Existing CSWIP certifications remain valid in accordance with their Scheme’s validity period.
We will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available. In the meantime, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
