Testing is conducted for the purpose of enforcement of the Water Supply (Water Quality) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2017 and the Private Water Supplies Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2017.

Why do DWTS testing?

The DWTS outlines how laboratories and related entities should implement quality management systems, conduct internal audits, and maintain compliance with both ISO/IEC 17025 and specific agreements between UK regulators and UKAS. Accreditation under the DWTS encompasses all regulatory drinking water quality parameters, ensuring that analysis are performed consistently and reliably.

For private water supplies, it's mandatory that all sampling, transportation, and analysis activities are accredited under ISO/IEC 17025 in accordance with the DWTS. This ensures that private water sources meet the same stringent quality standards as public supplies.

Whether you're managing a private or public water supply, Eurofins delivers accurate, compliant testing to protect your water quality and meet legal requirements.
