Fingerprint Proficiency Test Now Available
Launch Of New Latent Fingerprint Comparison Round
We are very pleased to announce the launch of our new Fingerprint Comparison Proficiency Test:
- Marks Scheme, Latent Fingerprint Comparison, Scheduled Round 1
Kit delivery date: end of January 2017
This pilot Scheme is priced at £95.00 (+VAT), a significant discount from the full price post-accreditation (expected to be of the order of £250.00).
The kit consists of 8 Fingerprint Reference Cards and 5 photographs of enhanced marks (taken from drinks cans and magazines).
The kits can be ordered directly from the FPTS website, by clicking on the link above.
Digital Forensics – Mobile Phones and Hard Drives
We have made excellent progress in designing our mobile phone and computer hard drives Schemes. Working with a number of organisations, we are finalising the “proof-of-concept” phase of the development projects and hope to have our kits available to order in February or March 2017.
Accreditation to ISO 17043
UKAS visited us on 3 November for our ISO 17043 Pre-Assessment. Following their report to us, we have submitted our action plan to UKAS and are now working hard, with new, added resources, to complete these tasks so that we can make our formal application to UKAS for assessment. We are still aiming to be fully accredited to ISO 17043 in the first quarter of 2017.
