Description

This UKAS (accredited to BS17025) certified Lead laboratory test will check for lead in a water sample and provide a UKAS certified laboratory test result. Potable water is water that is safe enough to be consumed by humans and other animals and is also known as drinking water.

This UKAS Lead Laboratory test is recommended for landlords to comply with the Scottish Repairing Standard – “Changes to the Repairing Standard require landlords to ensure that from 1 March 2024 the water supply in their private rented properties is free of lead.”

A minimum order of 10 tests is required.

Arranging a laboratory analysis is very easy and our service includes everything required to carry out this analysis:

  • UKAS certified laboratory results for Lead in 5 easy steps
  • Includes everything required to carry out the test
  • Simply collect the water sample and post it to our laboratory for expert analysis
  • Results available within 10-14 working days after returning the water sample
  • Ideal for home & business use including landlords, private homes & offices, hotels, care homes, healthcare premises, eduction sector, farm premises and property management

The lab test results are presented in μg/l Pb (microgram/litre). The UK maximum contaminant level for Lead in tap water set by DWI/DEFRA is 10µg/l (= 0.01mg/l = 0.01ppm) – so the test results can easily be compared with the maximum contaminant guidelines.

Suitable for:  Potable water including water from taps and tanks.

Results: The test measures total dissolved lead in very small increments
