Polish accreditation body sets out rules for drinking and bathing water testing
Communication no. 475 of 1 June 2026 describes accreditation rules for laboratories sampling and testing water intended for human consumption and bathing water.
- The communication follows the statutory change: since official testing requires accreditation and a register entry, laboratories need to know how to word their scope to meet the condition.
- It covers both sampling and testing — two separate items in a scope of accreditation that have to be handled separately.
- PCA communications are the binding reading of accreditation rules for a laboratory and are published in one place on the accreditation body website.
