Earlier in 2024, EX1 submitted an extension to scope (ETS) application to UKAS. This purpose of which was to expand the designated laboratory areas. Following an on-site assessment, EX1 was granted ISO 17025:2017 accreditation for the newly designated laboratory areas. This was a fantastic team effort and has resulted in the significant expansion of the digital forensic laboratory.

Later in the year (2024), EX1 submitted a second ETS application to UKAS. On this occasion, the intention was to include all of the forensic services which are offered by EX1, in relation to mobile devices, within the scope of our ISO 17025:2017 accredited activities. We are very pleased to announce that the requested extension to scope has been granted by UKAS. This is a fantastic achievement and it is testament to the dedication and commitment of the team.
