OUR LABS
EYATH S.A. has two state-of-the-art quality control labs:
- The Drinking Water Testing Lab, whose main task is to check water from the Thessaloniki urban area and from boreholes and
- The Quality Control Lab at the Thessaloniki Water Treatment Plant, whose main task is quality control of treated water from the Aliakmon River and the connecting canal and identification of all organic parameters in Thessaloniki’s water.
The two labs cover the entire range of physico-chemical, organic and microbiological parameters which the company is obliged to monitor under the applicable legislation (Joint Ministerial Decision No. Γ1(δ)/ΓΠ οικ. 67322, Government Gazette 3282/B/19.9.2017) in compliance with Directive 98/83/EEC on quality of water for human consumption, as amended.
Checks are carried out using recognised testing methods and examine organoleptic, physico-chemical and toxic parameters, covering organic and inorganic micro-pollutants, and microbiological load in accordance with the applicable laws.
Our labs are staffed by experts in a wide range of fields, including chemistry, chemical engineering, hydrobiology, environmental engineering and food technology. The quality control lab staff receive continuing training and education, attending seminars and workshops on all new developments and technologies in the drinking water lab testing sector.
