Drinking water requires periodic testing

Drinking water must be safe for everyone who uses it. That is why it is important to regularly monitor water quality. Drinking water testing determines whether the water is suitable for human consumption and meets applicable quality standards.

Normec handles the entire process, from sampling and laboratory testing to expert interpretation of the results. This provides you with clarity about the quality of your drinking water and lets you know whether additional measures are needed.

Testing Tailored to Your Situation

Not every drinking water system has the same requirements. Depending on the building, its use, and applicable regulations, we determine which analyses are necessary.

Drinking water testing may include, among other things:

  • Drinking water sampling
  • Microbiological analyses
  • Legionella testing
  • Assessment of the water’s potability
  • Analysis by accredited laboratories
  • Recommendations on any follow-up measures
  • Chemical analyses

Sampling is performed by qualified personnel, and the analyses are conducted by accredited laboratories.

Know where you stand

With drinking water testing:

  • You can verify whether the drinking water is safe to use
  • You ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations
  • You can identify abnormalities at an early stage
  • You’ll receive expert advice based on the analysis results
  • You’ll minimize risks to users of the system

If the analysis indicates that action is needed, our specialists will recommend appropriate measures to restore or maintain water quality.

More than just a lab report

An analysis result provides insight, but often requires proper interpretation. That’s why our consultants discuss the findings and translate them into practical advice tailored to your situation.

When necessary, we also provide support for additional testing, Legionella prevention, risk analyses, or updating a management plan. This way, you receive not only a report but also a clear plan of action.

Part of Good Water Management

Drinking water testing is an important part of managing drinking water systems. By periodically monitoring water quality, you maintain control over the system’s safety and can respond to changes in a timely manner.

Normec supports organizations with drinking water testing, periodic sampling, and expert advice. This ensures that the quality of the drinking water remains demonstrably up to standard and that your organization complies with applicable requirements.

Frequently asked questions about potability testing

Drinking water testing verifies whether water is suitable for human consumption. This involves examining the quality of the water through laboratory analyses.

The frequency depends on the type of building, the drinking water system, and applicable laws and regulations. In some situations, periodic testing is mandatory.

Yes. We can perform Legionella testing upon request. Since Legionella analysis requires a dedicated sampling procedure, it is not included in standard drinking water testing and must be requested separately. 

The water samples are collected by accredited samplers in accordance with applicable guidelines.

You will receive the analysis results and expert advice on any follow-up steps or control measures.

Yes. We support organizations with, among other things, Legionella prevention, risk assessments, management plans, periodic inspections, and digital water management.
