Water Analysis

Comprehensive Water Analysis Across Regulatory Frameworks

Water characterization requires specialized skills and validated methodologies, since each type has different regulatory requirements, analytical objectives and operational matrices. Our activities cover the entire spectrum of water used in the civil, industrial, environmental and health sectors, ensuring a technical approach consistent with the main national and European regulations. We operate on matrices ranging from water intended for human consumption to wastewater, passing through environmental, industrial, microbiological water and specific applications. Each category requires dedicated sampling, storage and analysis procedures, defined by established standards and industry guidelines.

The following classification summarizes the main types of water covered by the analytical activities, with the relative regulatory framework of reference, offering a clear view of the areas of intervention and the application contexts in which the technical checks are carried out.
