The Scientific Services team at Vaal Water is relieved to have its own laboratory (lab) now accredited.
The Vaal Central Water Board, said its Balkfontein Analytical Services laboratory has passed the rigorous SANAS (South African National Accreditation System) assessment, done in September 2024.
Following the assessment, the lab was granted its accreditation status.
The implication of this, is that the lab is competent to do testing and complies with the international standard ISO/IEC 17025:2017.
The lab is recognized both globally and nationally as competent to conduct tests.
The Water Board said in a statement, this will further enhance customer confidence in the results from the laboratory.
The results are also available at the SANAS website https://www.sanas.co.za/Pages/index.aspx
