Test material is a spiking concentrate, in deionised water, for dilution with lab's own deionised water.
The drinking water industry is highly regulated across the world. There is a related responsibility to ensure that waste water is effectively treated to reduce environmental pollution. Fapas waste water proficiency test samples replicate those used to test for potential environmental contamination, covering a wide range of determinants. These include standard oxygen demand and physical parameters as well as trace metals and nutrients.
This Fapas proficiency test can evaluate your testing ability regarding Hexavalent Chromium in waste water.
Chromium within waste water is of particular interest due to the potentially harmful effects it can have on those who consume significant quantities. These effects can be serious, such as kidney and liver damage, as well as skin or eye irritation. As such it is crucial to highlight any high levels quickly and effectively, to aid the water treatment process and protect consumers.
Waste water is strictly controlled across industry, due to the potentially harmful chemicals used within manufacture processes. This can result in waste water contaminating the wider environment if not managed correctly.
Fapas proficiency testing measures can highlight any improvements that may be required, as well as informing any subsequent quality assurance activities. Fapas proficiency testing measures can challenge your testing activities in much the same as routine analysis, therefore providing direct comparisons from which to ensure your results are highly credible and repeatable.
