Ensuring Water Quality: A Guide to UKAS Water Sampling

At Pipe Testing Services, we prioritise water quality, and our commitment is evident in our rigorous UKAS water sampling and water control schemes. In this guide, we’ll delve into the significance of microbiological sampling, shedding light on when and why it’s crucial for your water systems.

UKAS (United Kingdom Accreditation Service) water sampling is a meticulous process aimed at evaluating the quality of water within diverse systems. This accreditation ensures that our sampling methods adhere to the highest industry standards, providing reliable and accurate results.

In the event of suspected contamination or water quality issues, immediate microbiological sampling is imperative. Swift action allows for the identification of the contaminant source and the implementation of corrective measures.
