SO-15395 Wet Bath Simulators

Home Office Centre for Applied Science and Technology (CAST) require the supply and calibration of 10 wet-bath simulators (liquid simulators)

Home Office CAST is the nominated test laboratory for type approval of breath alcohol analysis equipment. There will be an increasing amount of testing over the coming months and this will require wet bath simulators. More are required as there is not enough in the current stock in the laboratory to meet the expected work load.
