Notice relating to the LQs for water analyses under the Environmental Code

On 19 October 2019, a notice was published in the Official Journal of the French Republic concerning the limits of quantification of “parameter-matrix” couples for the approval of laboratories carrying out analyses in the field of water and aquatic environments.

This new notice repeals the notice of 21 August 2019.

Among the changes made, this text:

– The LQ for free cyanides increases from 5µg/L to 0.5µg/L

– The LQ for Pirimiphos-methyl increases from 0.01µg/L to 0.03µg/L

Our laboratory is approved by the Ministry of the Environment for analyses in the field of water and aquatic environments under the Environmental Code.

The changes following the publication of this new notice have no impact on our current approvals.

As a reminder, our Hydro department has a complete range of COFRAC accreditations for water analysis, physico-chemistry, microbiology, sampling and on-site testing. Find out more about our internal Hydrologie technical scope.
