Confidence in the quality of your drinking water
Clean and safe drinking water is essential for protecting public health and ensuring the reliable operation of water systems. Contamination can result from issues within pipework, stagnant water, inadequate maintenance or external influences.
With Normec's drinking water testing services, you gain clear insight into the microbiological and chemical quality of your drinking water system. This enables you to identify risks at an early stage and demonstrate compliance with applicable regulations.
Microbiological testing of drinking water
Microorganisms can develop within drinking water systems and pose a risk to users. That is why Normec offers a comprehensive range of microbiological analyses.
We test for, among others:
- Total coliform bacteria
- Escherichia coli (E. coli)
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa
- Legionella
These analyses help identify potential contamination and verify the safety of your drinking water system.
Chemical analysis of drinking water
In addition to microbiological hazards, chemical contaminants can also affect drinking water quality. We therefore analyse drinking water for a wide range of potential contaminants.
Our testing includes:
- Lead
- Copper
- Pesticides
- Other unwanted chemical substances
These analyses provide valuable insight into the composition of your water and help demonstrate compliance with applicable legislation and standards.
This means you can:
- Gain insight into the microbiological and chemical quality of your drinking water
- Identify risks before they affect users
- Demonstrate compliance with relevant standards and regulations
- Receive reliable results from an accredited laboratory
- Obtain clear reports for audits and inspections
Investigation of complaints and water quality issues
Changes in the taste, odour or colour of drinking water may indicate problems within the distribution system. In many cases, these issues are caused by ageing infrastructure, insufficient maintenance, stagnant water or unsuitable materials.
Normec helps identify the underlying causes of drinking water quality complaints and assesses potential risks within your system. This enables you to take targeted corrective actions to improve water quality.
Drinking water testing for healthcare facilities
Drinking water systems in healthcare facilities are often extensive and complex. Controlling waterborne pathogens therefore requires a structured approach and routine monitoring.
Particular attention is given to the control of Legionella and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. These bacteria can pose a significant risk to vulnerable patients and may proliferate in systems that are not adequately maintained or monitored.
Normec provides accredited testing for Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Legionella and supports healthcare facilities in monitoring drinking water systems and managing microbiological risks.
Routine testing helps you maintain control over drinking water quality and contributes to a safe environment for patients, staff and visitors.
