Centre for testing of drinking water

Independent and recognized


We are recognized as a drinking water testing body in North Rhine-Westphalia because we meet all the requirements of § 15 (4) Drinking Water Ordinance and have proven this to the independent body of the respective state (here: LANUV).

According to § 15 (4) TrinkwV we must:

  • work according to the generally accepted rules of technology
  • maintain a system of internal quality assurance
  • successfully participate in external quality assurance programs (interlaboratory tests) regularly
  • have personnel who are adequately qualified for the relevant activities, and
  • be accredited for drinking water testing, including sampling.
