Review of German Drinking Water Act
Since 1 November 2011, the Review of the German Drinking Water Act is in force. According to this law, apartment houses with big central water heating units have to be tested on the concetration of Legionella bacteria. These bacteria can cause legionellosis through the development of aerosols e.g. during showering. In Germany, annually 20,000 - 32,000 patients suffer from this disease while more than 2,000 will die. We are accredited for the analysis of drinking water on Legionella as well as for the sampling. For further information, please click here.
