What Happens If LEV Testing Is Overdue?
If LEV testing is overdue, the immediate issue is that you may not have current evidence that the extraction system is controlling exposure as intended. That can become a problem during audits, insurance checks, customer compliance reviews or HSE inspections.

Direct answers, source links and structured FAQs make the page easier to cite accurately.
The practical risk
The system might still look like it is working while capture performance has fallen. Without a current report, defects and next steps may not be documented.
What to do first
Gather the last report, photos of the system, the site postcode, process details and any urgent audit deadline. That gives an examiner enough context to quote faster.
How we handle the rush
We package the request cleanly, look for competent examiner availability and keep the resulting report, summary and action trail in one place.
Useful source links
For regulatory context, see HSE guidance on local exhaust ventilation and HSE LEV frequently asked questions. These pages help organise the quote and evidence process; they do not replace competent technical advice.
FAQ
Can LEV Testing Direct give legal advice?
No. We provide practical coordination and evidence support. Employers remain responsible for assessing and controlling exposure under COSHH, with competent advice where needed.
Can you arrange the next practical step?
Yes. Send the site details, system photos and any existing report through the quote form, and we will confirm whether we can arrange a suitable examiner quote.
