Test Description

The drinking water industry is highly regulated across the world. There is a related responsibility to ensure that the source of the water (a river, for example) has a low environmental pollution. Fapas surface water proficiency test samples replicate those used to test for potential environmental contamination, covering a wide range of determinands. These include routine components and trace metals.

This proficiency test specifically looks at toxic metals within surface water.

Toxic metals are strictly controlled within water. This is due to their detrimental effects on health when consumed in large quantities. As such it is important to highlight any potentially large quantities of these toxic metals within surface waters to inform your wider testing abilities.

Surface water such as rivers must be of high quality to support extensive biodiversity and wildlife. Through your effective testing solutions this biodiversity can be maintained and managed to achieve high quality testing measures.

Proficiency tests from Fapas make use of challenging test materials to highlight areas of improvement within your current testing arrangement. This can ensure only high quality test results are provided for your customers to enjoy.
