Press Release

POTENTIAL TERMINATION OF CONTRACT WITH SAUDI ARABIAN STANDARDS AUTHORITY

On May 26, 2002, Intertek Testing Services plc (“ITS”) received notification that its contract with the Saudi Arabian Standards Authority (“SASO”) may not be renewed, permitting SASO to terminate its contract with ITS at the end of August 2002. The contract between the Foreign Trade Standards division of ITS and SASO is automatically renewed annually unless notice of termination is given by SASO by May 29, in each year. The Company has been working for some time with SASO towards a renewal of this contract and maintains an active dialogue in this regard. While there can be no assurance that this will be the case, the Directors continue to believe that the contract will be renewed this year. The contract represented approximately 30% of the FTS division’s revenues in 2001 (approximately 4% of Group revenues).

Richard Nelson, Chief Executive Officer of ITS, stated “We have a longstanding relationship with SASO, which has lasted for six years and I remain optimistic about the contract with SASO being renewed.”
