Water Quality Testing

Having access to safe drinking water is an essential part of all buildings. Ensuring good, frequent water quality controls is crucial for workplace compliance and should be carried out regularly, especially drinking water testing in older buildings where corroded pipes may be an issue.
UK water quality standards are set in accordance with the Water Framework Directive and other EU water directives. The precise values for standards have been set with advice from the UK Technical Advisory Group (UKTAG).
Water Quality Risks in Commercial and Public Buildings:
Poorly managed water systems can present significant health and safety risks, which water quality standards aim to control, including:
- Legionella bacteria
- Stagnation and low usage
- Scale, corrosion and biofilm
- Temperature control failures
- Older pipework and storage tanks
