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.
