ABOUT OUR COMMITMENT TO QUALITY & ACCREDITATION
Trusted practices and procedures have been implemented throughout the company in alignment with global advancements and proven methodologies. As a SANAS accredited laboratory (number T0419) we adhere to a strict quality assurance system which is aligned with EN 45001, ISO/IEC 17025 criteria. Furthermore we deem it imperative to involve our laboratory in international proficiency testing schemes and thus participate in round robin verifications co-ordinated by CALA and Aqua-check. Utilising internationally validated calibration standards with external traceability ensures we provide accurate, high quality data on every analysis report issued by us. Additionally in accordance with local policy codes, we are a Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (BBBEE) certified business.
Why Clients Choose EPL
- Accredited quality with a personal touch: We operate under a robust SANAS-accredited quality system (ISO/IEC 17025), yet you’ll still deal directly with scientists who know your project and can answer your questions.
- Fast, reliable turnaround time: Our lean structure and efficient workflows mean we can often deliver results faster, without compromising on accuracy.
- Local expertise, practical advice: We understand South African conditions, regulations and water challenges. We don’t just send numbers – we help you interpret them and decide what to do next.
- Flexible, customised solutions: From one-off samples to long-term monitoring programmes, we tailor methods, reporting formats and sampling schedules to suit your operation.
- Transparent, honest reporting: If something looks unusual, we check and communicate. We’d rather question a result than pass on data we wouldn’t use ourselves.
