Water Testing Services
Potable water testing
Eurofins companies are a leading global provider of water testing services, supporting shipowners and operators with physical, chemical and microbiological analyses to ensure safe and compliant drinking water on board.
High-quality potable water is essential for the health of crew and passengers. On board vessels, drinking water systems may be exposed to contamination due to limited space and proximity to wastewater or heat sources.
