These certifications demonstrate our adherence to rigorous Ohio EPA protocols for public drinking water analysis. (View Ohio EPA Combined Lab List ›)
What Does “Ohio EPA Certified” Mean?
Ohio EPA’s laboratory certification program is designed to ensure the accuracy and reliability of water testing, following U.S. EPA approved methods. It spans multiple analytes from microbiology to chemistry, metals, radiochemistry, and more requiring certified labs to meet strict standards and pass regular proficiency testing.
By choosing Q Labs, you’re relying on a laboratory vetted through this robust regulatory framework.
Recognition Beyond Ohio
Ohio EPA certification doesn’t stop at the state line. Many other states recognize Ohio EPA approvals on a reciprocal basis, meaning that results from Q Laboratories’ certified testing are accepted across multiple jurisdictions.
