Sampling and Monitoring

What is it?

For a robust legionella control program, it is essential to incorporate sampling and monitoring procedures. Regular sampling and monitoring of water systems for Legionella bacteria is essential for prevention. Timely testing aids in early issue detection, while regulating temperature and pH levels establishes an unwelcoming environment for Legionella. Integrating these practices into a comprehensive control program heightens safety for both employees and customers.

Sampling entails extracting water samples from designated points within a system to assess bacterial presence and quality. In contrast, monitoring involves conducting routine temperature checks at specified sites within the water system to pinpoint potential areas vulnerable to bacterial proliferation and to proactively manage associated risks.


Samples are subjected to testing at independent laboratories accredited by UKAS. This accreditation ensures that the testing is carried out to the highest standards, guaranteeing reliable and precise results. Laboratories accredited by UKAS are required to adhere to strict procedures and protocols. Choosing to have samples tested at UKAS accredited laboratories is a wise decision that reflects a commitment to excellence and precision in scientific analysis.
