Compliance Inspections.
Water Testing
AWQC’s method of testing for Legionella relies upon the use of traditional methodology that is based on AS/NZS 3896:2008. The method isolates and enumerates Legionella species in water by the spread plate technique. The sample of water is treated, inoculated onto specific media and incubated up to 7-10 days. Further tests are performed to confirm suspect Legionella like organisms. Confirmed Legionellae are identified as Legionella spp., Legionella serogroup 1 or serogroup 2-14 using rapid latex slide agglutination.
AWQC is NATA Accredited for the analysis of Legionella.
