Testing the suitability of water for the intended use requires adequate expertise and sophisticated instrumentation. Lucid has more than a decade experience in testing water samples for various purposes and specifications. Since, the quality of water directly effects of health of the people and cattle, it is becoming mandatory to estimate the quality of drinking water.

With available instruments and expertise, Lucid is in a position to test for organoleptic, physical, chemical and microbiological parameters as per the standards given below:

Packaged drinking water - IS :14543:2016
Packaged natural mineral water, IS 13428 : 2005
Drinking water (Surface/ground water), IS 10500 : 2012
Drinking water as per WHO/EPA/European community specification
Water for construction purpose, IS 456 : 2000
Water for storage batteries, IS 1069 : 1993
Reagent water, IS 1070 : 1992 /ASTM D 1193
