Drinking water hygiene
Legionella testing
Testing drinking water samples for Legionella spp. within an agreed scope of testing.
Testing drinking water samples for Legionella
Legionella testing is an important part of hygiene monitoring in drinking water installations. It can be particularly relevant to central hot water systems, building water installations and hygiene monitoring programmes.
At our microbiological laboratory, we test drinking water samples for Legionella spp. Testing is based on an agreed scope of testing and appropriate sampling.
The scope depends on the drinking water installation, sampling conditions, testing objective and applicable requirements. If needed, we can help you determine which sampling approach and tests are suitable for your enquiry.
Testing & advice
Legionella testing tailored to the installation and testing objective
Testing for Legionella spp. depends on the drinking water installation, designated sampling points and testing objective. The sampling approach and scope of testing are agreed to suit the specific enquiry.
Legionella testing can be particularly relevant to drinking water installations with central hot water systems, routine monitoring or investigations into potential hygiene concerns.
Once testing is complete, you will receive a test report. If needed, we can advise you on the scope of testing and suitable further analyses.
Central hot water systems
For drinking water installations where testing for Legionella spp. is specified under defined requirements.
Monitoring tests
For microbiological testing to assess the hygienic condition of a drinking water installation.
Agreed sampling plan
For enquiries where sampling points, sample numbers and the scope of testing need to be agreed with expert input.
