Compost Testing
We work in conjunction with Eurofins Agro UK Ltd to offer a range of services.
The Publicly Available Specification 100 (BSI PAS 100) for composted materials developed by the Association for Organics Recycling (AFOR) is the minimum specification that composted materials must meet. It is a way of evaluating the safety, reliability and consistency of compost. This is required in order to achieve the independently verified Composting Association accreditation.
The PAS100 regulations can be accessed via our download page.

Effluents & Water
Under the Water Resources Act 1991 (amended 1995) you need permission from the Environment Agency if you want to discharge effluent. We can provide an analytical suite of tests to help you to meet this requirement, which include - but are not limited to - BOD, COD, pH, fats, oils and grease, suspended solids, ammoniacal nitrogen, nitrate, phosphorus, iron, total, trace and potentially toxic elements, and total petroleum hydrocarbons. A number of these tests are included in the UKAS accredited testing laboratory (2262) schedule of accreditation, a link to which can be found on our download page.
Water analysis includes drinking water and irrigation water suites.
