LeversedgeAre A UKAS Accredited Calibration Laboratory
We are proud to announce that, as of 1st May 2020, we have officially become a United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) accredited calibration laboratory, No.10507.
Obtaining accreditation under UKAS has long been a goal of our business, requiring many hours of observation, inspection and consultation both on site and at our offices.
Operating under this prestigious banner offers our customers assurance that the work we carry out for temperature calibration services is compliant with internationally recognised ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standards.
Postponement of Enforcement of New LEZ and DVS Rules in London
The Mayor of
London, Sadiq Khan, has asked Transport for London to delay the enforcement of
new rules for London’s Low Emission Zone (LEZ) and Direct Vision Standard (DVS)
for at least four months after their introduction this October.
FORS recognise that the coronavirus pandemic has impacted the road freight sector in ways which could make compliance with the new standards more challenging. Though companies have been preparing for the new rules for some time, with many vehicles already compliant, the pandemic has disrupted supply chains and has placed additional demands on the industry. Postponing enforcement will allow the freight industry to focus on its core operations during the pandemic.
We remain committed to working together
to tackle some of London’s biggest challenges, including road danger and air
quality. Tightened emissions standards for buses, coaches, lorries and
specialist vehicles – in line with the tough requirements in place for the
central London Ultra Low Emission Zone – will help clean up London’s air and
save lives. Meanwhile the DVS will reduce danger to vulnerable road users by
introducing a safety permit system for HGVs, assigning vehicles a star rating
based on how much the driver can see directly through their cab window.
Although the new rules under both schemes will still legally come into force on 26 October, no charges will be payable or enforced for non-compliant vehicles under those new standards until the end of February 2021. The new date for the start of enforcement will be kept under review.
Leversedge realise that recent months have been challenging for most business sectors, with Transport and Logistics facing unprecedented operational demand. Our industries need to help each other and work together more now than ever before.

The goal of unified communications is to integrate all methods of communication, from radios to emails, to form one easy method that workers can use to communicate with their teams and colleagues, whatever device they are using. These solutions are already revolutionising the way that organisations communicate not just with each other, but with other organisations, offering a safe, practical and easy way to connect with the world.
Thanks to the cutting-edge technology we offer at Leversedge, such as Motorola MOTOTRBO™ WAVE, you can change the way your organisation communicates for the better, instantly connecting two-way radios, smartphones and even computers to one network, making sure no one is ever out of reach.
Imagine you need to get an urgent message to a colleague who’s only got their radio with them, or you’re in charge of a team who can’t carry radios with them. That’s where unified communications comes in, connecting disparate land mobile radio systems together to create a more efficient method of communication. WAVE even allows you to communicate with key work partners even if they don’t use a Motorola radio system, breaking boundaries across the sector.
From housekeeping to security, WAVE allows you to communicate freely in the way that suits you, making the whole of your employee base a simple phone call away. You’ll even be able to integrate outside contractors onto your network temporarily, helping every event run smoothly. And once the event is over, you’ll be able to deactivate the temporary licenses quickly and without fuss, with no need to organise the return of radios and equipment.
Not all employees need radios, and WAVE is a smart solution to keep those who don’t in contact with the whole team, wherever they are. Explore the whole range of innovative and cutting-edge products that we offer at Leversedge, and find your unified communications solution today.
