Sampling and testing of different types of water probes for customers from the public and private sectors
The challenge
Water Supply and Sewerage (WSS) companies and industrial customers in Bulgaria are legally obliged to perform monitoring and control the quality of the water used by them. For that purpose, they need to:
- have accurate data for the parameters of the used raw or technical water
- control the efficiency of potable water and wastewater treatment
- monitor their wastewater and sewerage
They all need a reliable and accredited partner for laboratory and analytical services to comply with the statutory provisions and meet the quality criteria. The accreditation is a guarantee of the validity and reliability of the results. Based on the laboratory results, WSS companies and industrial clients can take operational and management decisions related to their activities more efficiently and accurately.
