Water sampling

Clean water starts with clean sampling

We offer not only comprehensive analyses but also sampling services for various types of water. Many authorities and waste disposal companies in the water sector require accredited sampling in addition to analysis by an independent laboratory. We take individual, mixed, or (qualified) random samples and ensure the appropriate pre-treatment, such as preservation with acids and/or cooling of the samples taken until they reach the laboratory. We also provide documentation in the form of reports and photos, as well as on-site measurements. In addition, we support you with one-time or periodic sampling and are happy to take care of the planning for you. We professionally sample drinking water, groundwater, process water, or wastewater. This is the basis for reliable analyses and confident decisions.

Sampling in accordance with TrinkwV

From sampling to scheduling – everything from a single source

We have qualified samplers with the necessary TrinkwV certification who are integrated into our laboratory's quality management system and are employed by us on a full-time basis. Sampling is carried out in accordance with the provisions of DIN ISO 5667-5 and DIN EN ISO 19458.

In addition to the actual sampling, we are also happy to take care of planning the necessary sampling, considering the legally prescribed testing intervals; we keep track of your recurring appointments.

Typical sampling occasions are:

Routine monitoring of drinking water wells
Inspection of drinking water dispensers
Approval of new installations (according to VDI 6023)

Sampling of bathing water

For hygienically safe bathing

Regular monitoring of bathing water is essential for protecting health and complying with legal requirements. Our qualified samplers take bathing water samples in accordance with the requirements of the Bathing Water Directive and DIN standards – professionally, documented, and reliably. Whether it's an outdoor pool, a bathing lake, or a hotel pool, we ensure that your water quality is tested in a transparent and traceable manner.

In addition to the actual sampling, we are also happy to plan the necessary sampling, considering the legally prescribed testing intervals; we keep track of your recurring appointments.

Natural outdoor pools
Water in water playgrounds

Sampling in accordance with 42. BImSchV

Operator obligations at a glance

The 42nd BImSchV requires regular inspections of evaporative cooling systems, cooling towers, and wet separators. This serves to protect employees and the population from Legionella bacteria and to ensure hygienic operating conditions. Our certified samplers carry out sampling professionally in accordance with VDI guidelines (VDI 2047) and legal requirements. We document all steps transparently and support you in complying with your operator’s obligations. It goes without saying that the samplers are integrated into our quality management system and are employed by us on a full-time basis. Sampling is carried out in accordance with the recommendations of the German Federal Environment Agency (UBA) based on DIN EN ISO 19458.

In addition to the actual sampling, we also take care of planning the necessary sampling, considering the legally prescribed testing intervals and notifying the responsible parties.

Plants subject to inspection as specified in the 42nd BImSchV:

Evaporative cooling systems
(Natural draft) cooling towers
Wet separators

Wastewater sampling

Safe, clean, compliant with regulations

The provisions of the Wastewater Ordinance (AbwV) require companies to test their wastewater before it is discharged into the municipal sewer system (indirect dischargers) or into a body of water (direct dischargers). In addition to wastewater, we can also test your process water, service water, or recirculating water according to your specifications.

We take individual, mixed, or (qualified) random samples and ensure the appropriate pre-treatment, such as preservation with acids and/or cooling of the samples taken until they reach the laboratory. We also provide documentation in the form of reports and photos, as well as on-site measurements.
