Precision Analysis – A Tentamus Company Gains UKAS Accreditation for Enterococci Testing

We are delighted to announce that Precision Analysis - A Tentamus Company (UKAS Accredited Testing Laboratory No. 1763) has successfully gained UKAS accreditation for Enterococci testing across multiple water types.

This includes ground water, surface water, drinking water, recreational water (both manmade and natural), bottled water, and mains tap water — strengthening our position as a trusted provider of accredited testing services.

Why Enterococci Testing Is Important

Enterococci are Gram-positive bacteria commonly found in the intestinal tracts of warm-blooded animals. While they are generally not harmful, their presence in water can indicate faecal contamination and the possible presence of disease-causing microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and protozoa.

In the UK, Enterococci are used as secondary indicators of faecal contamination and play a crucial role in assessing water quality, particularly when E. coli is absent. By adding Enterococci testing to our UKAS-accredited scope, we provide clients with enhanced water quality insight and greater confidence in compliance.

Accredited Testing for All Major Water Types

Our newly accredited method covers:

• Ground water and surface water
• Drinking water (including bottled and mains tap)
• Recreational waters, such as open water, lakes, and manmade marinas used for swimming and leisure

This broad coverage allows our clients to rely on UKAS-accredited Enterococci testing for virtually all water environments they monitor.

Supporting Our Clients Through Accreditation

This expansion of our UKAS-accredited scope enables Precision Analysis - A Tentamus Company to better support clients across industries that depend on accurate water quality testing.

From environmental monitoring to bottled water production, we’re proud to provide data our clients can rely on to make informed decisions and maintain high standards of safety and compliance.
