Well and drinking water testing

At T.E. Laboratories (TelLab), we provide drinking water testing and analysis for

  • Home and business owners, who get their drinking water from wells and private groups schemes
  • Local authorities, NGOs and regulators (Our team of service engineers provide national coverage)

Our drinking water test service is accurate and cost-effective, and our environmental laboratory is accredited by the Irish National Accreditation Board (INAB) – Standard 17025 for the chemical analysis of water.  You can view our INAB accreditation certificate and our list of INAB  accredited tests here.
