Dental Unit Water Lines - Microbiological monitoring
HTM01-05 Paragraph 19.68 states that:
"All microbiological measurements should be by approved methods and/or be carried out by United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS)-accredited laboratories.

The First Principle can undertake on-site sampling of your water systems including dental unit water lines (DULWs) for Legionella and TVC (drinking water) using an independent UKAS Accredited Testing Laboratory.
