Water is one of the most important components in food production, cleaning processes, and environmental safety — but it must meet strict quality and hygiene standards. Whether used as an ingredient, a process aid, or discharged into the environment, water must be monitored for chemical composition, contamination, and microbial load.
At Ekocentrum, we offer accredited testing of water quality for a wide range of industries. We analyze drinking water, surface water (e.g. rivers and lakes), and wastewater to ensure compliance with EU and national regulations. Our testing helps food manufacturers, pharmaceutical producers, and municipal operators meet their legal obligations and maintain high standards of hygiene and safety.
For microbiological parameters, we collaborate with a certified partner lab.
Parameters Tested
- Physicochemical indicators: pH, conductivity, turbidity
- Ions: nitrates, nitrites, ammonium, fluorides, chlorides, phosphates
- Heavy metals: lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury
- Organic residues: detergents, solvents (on request)
- Microbiological contaminants: E. coli, coliforms, yeasts, molds (via partner lab)
Application Areas
- Bottled water and beverage producers
- Process water in food and pharma manufacturing
- Wastewater discharge monitoring
- Facility hygiene validation (HACCP, IFS, ISO)
- Environmental impact assessments
Accreditation & Methodology
Chemical parameters are tested in-house under ISO 17025 accreditation. Microbiological testing is performed by our certified partner laboratory.
