Water testing
Our public health laboratories conduct chemical and microbial tests on water samples to ensure that they are safe.
We can provide water testing services for private clients; however, most water testing and surveillance requests come from local councils and water regulatory bodies.
Our laboratories are accredited by NATA against ISO standards for water testing and analysis.
