Water Quality Testing

Water quality is essential for protecting public health, ensuring regulatory compliance, and maintaining safe drinking, industrial, and environmental water systems. Water is generally classified as surface water, spring water, groundwater, drinking water, and utility water, each requiring specific analytical evaluation according to its intended use.

Drinking and utility water must comply with the requirements of the applicable national regulations, including physical, chemical, and microbiological quality criteria. Routine laboratory testing helps verify water quality, identify potential contamination, and support regulatory compliance.

Bilim Laboratories performs ISO/IEC 17025 accredited water testing services using internationally recognized analytical methods.
