Notice Title

PROVISION OF WATER TESTING AT THE BRITISH HIGH COMMISSION NAIROBI

Notice Description

Analysis of water samples should be performed in a UKAS-accredited (or local equivalent) laboratory with the current ISO standard methods for detection and enumeration included within the scope of accreditation. The laboratory should also take part in a water microbiology proficiency testing scheme (such as that run by Public Health England (PHE) or an equivalent scheme accredited to ISO 17043). Alternative quantitative testing methods may be used as long as they have been validated using ISO 17994 and meet the required sensitivity and specificity
