What should I look for when choosing a company to do percolation test; install a rainwater soakaway? 
Is there an official standard that the company would need to meet in order to do the job, like the building trade?

There are so many businesses offering the service, but how can I be sure they are genuine, follow the correct building regulations, and provide the necessary official approval or certification, such as sign-off from Building Control?
    You need to give more info about why you want/need a soak away as you will receive more/better advice.
