PUMA
The new PAS128 Accreditation Scheme for utililty surveying companies
TSA has created a trailblazing PAS128 accreditation scheme for utility surveying companies that are TSA Members. Named PUMA (PAS128 Utility Mapping Accreditation), the new accreditation scheme is the culmination of ten years of development work by TSA.
PUMA is run by LRQA, a global leader in assurance, certification and inspection services.
For TSA Members
PUMA will provide a benchmark and create a national standard for best practice for underground surveys. Membership of the scheme will give accredited surveyors a competitive edge and will demonstrate their continuous professional improvement.
For Clients
PUMA will give clients of accredited survey companies confidence in the level of service and the quality of data provided, as well as saving them time and potentially costly delays. As well as raising standards, it provides surety that all PUMA accredited survey companies that claim to work to PAS128 actually do so.
