Laboratory Certification

Certified laboratories use approved methods to analyze drinking water compliance samples from public water systems (PWSs). This provides the PWSs with reliable information on the quality of their water. The laboratory results are used to monitor PWS compliance with health-based and aesthetic standards.

Laboratories must:

Be certified by the state to analyze drinking water samples for compliance monitoring

Successfully analyze proficiency testing (PT) samples at least annually for each method and analyte for which they desire certification

Use approved methods

Pass periodic on-site audits
