DRINKING WATER TESTING
In addition to an extensive list of microbiological parameters the capabilities of ALS Europe includes all of the required chemical parameters that needs testing in accordance with European legislation or WHO guidelines. Haloacetic acids, pesticides and chlorophenols, to mention a few, are all part of our standard offering. We have tailor made packages for e.g. the water directive 98/83/EC, the World Health Organisation’s guidelines for drinking water and for national legislation.
