My last UKAS job (2009)used Stangers and there was no choice offered but certs. Which we scanned and saved in our electronic system called INVU. tks for your comments My knowledge of the LMS system goes back a few years, then it did not act as a sample register and it’s output was the UKAS beloved certificate.

I believe Stangers also use it. I was on the working group for this product up until 2005 and even then they were trying to get web based reporting system passed by UKAS dont know if they succeeded. Im not surprised CET safehouse produced their own system as the LMS system was not the cheapest Thats why LAs were the most prevalent users (good old tax payer) This type of IT based system has been available commercially for a number of years from a software house called Qubix who developed a Lab management system (LMS) LMS is used by local authority Labs in England, Wales and Scotland as well as some Quarry Producers.
