Drinking Water Testing in Canada

Mar. 7 2023

Bureau Veritas works with clients across Canada to help protect the most vulnerable members of society by ensuring that their drinking water is safe for consumption. At our regional water testing laboratories, we analyze our client's samples against guidelines for Canadian drinking water quality. These guidelines were established by Health Canada in collaboration with the Federal-Provincial-Territorial Committee on Drinking Water (CDW) and other federal government departments. Details on these regulations can be found on the Health Canada website Drinking water quality in Canada.
