EN 15975 Drinking Water Security and Safety Testing
The European Standard EN 15975 specifies requirements and procedures for the security and safety of drinking water systems. This standard is crucial to ensuring that water supply networks are protected from contamination, unauthorized access, and other potential threats to public health.
Implementing EN 15975 involves a comprehensive approach aimed at safeguarding all components of the drinking water system, including source water intake, treatment facilities, distribution systems, and customer connections. The standard outlines measures that must be taken during design, construction, operation, maintenance, and decommissioning to minimize risks.
Our laboratory adheres strictly to EN 15975 guidelines when performing security assessments on utility water systems. Our team of experts ensures compliance with all relevant sections, including:
- Security measures during construction
- Access control for treatment facilities
- Contamination prevention at the source
- Monitoring and maintenance protocols
- Emergency response plans
We use advanced technologies to assess vulnerabilities in your water system. Our state-of-the-art equipment allows us to simulate real-world scenarios, ensuring that any potential weak points are identified before they become critical issues.
The testing process involves several key steps:
- Initial site assessment
- Identification of risk factors and threats
- Data collection on current security measures
- Development of a tailored security plan
- Implementation of recommended improvements
- Ongoing monitoring and periodic re-assessment
Our approach goes beyond mere compliance; it ensures that your water system is resilient against modern threats. By integrating EN 15975 into your operations, you not only meet regulatory requirements but also enhance the overall security posture of your facility.
In addition to physical security measures, EN 15975 emphasizes procedural safety aspects such as:
- Regular audits and inspections
- Emergency response drills
- Training programs for staff involved in water handling
- Documentation of all security-related activities
We provide detailed reports that outline our findings, the risks identified, and actionable recommendations. These documents serve as valuable resources for continuous improvement and assurance to stakeholders.
Our team is committed to staying updated with the latest developments in water system security, ensuring that your facility remains protected against emerging threats. By partnering with us, you gain access to cutting-edge expertise and a proven methodology tailored specifically for utility water systems.
