Services in water

Measuring drugs or doping substances in wastewater makes it possible to estimate the amount of abuse substances over a certain period of time. It provides an overview of the abuse and trends in an area or workplace.

Do your products meet today's expectations for quality assurance, health protection and environmental responsibility requirements? We help you find out - with advanced analyses tailored to your needs and the latest EU standards.

With the new regulations, we will soon move from today's voluntary type approval to a statutory requirement for testing and certification of products in contact with drinking water. The Drinking Water Directive imposes higher demands on manufacturers, who must ensure that their products comply with the applicable regulations.

Leachate tests are used to assess emissions of harmful substances from, among other things, construction and civil engineering products, industrial waste (granular materials and sludge) to ensure that they meet environmental requirements for sustainable management, recycling and disposal.

Regular calibration of conductivity meters ensures that electrical conductivity measurements are accurate and reliable. By comparing instrument readings with known standard solutions at specific temperatures, accurate results are ensured for all applications.

RISE concrete assessors have extensive experience in examining the condition of concrete structures at swimming pools and swimming facilities. At these plants, leakage and concrete damage often occur in the form of reinforcement corrosion and cracking.

Since April 2024, under Swedish law, new requirements apply to products that come into contact with drinking water. Construction products used in drinking water installations must not compromise human health, affect water quality or enhance microbial growth.

The disease-causing bacterium Legionella is spread by inhaling aerosols from water systems, for example tap water in buildings. RISE offers help in assessing risks for the growth and spread of Legionella according to the requirements stated in the Drinking Water Directive chapter 10.

Biofilm formation is the microorganisms' way of protecting themselves against factors in the environment such as chemicals, antibiotics, heat etc. Biofilm therefore creates problems in many industries and environments, for example in water management in various contexts, in healthcare, in the paper industry and not least in the food industry.

Limestone for liming of lakes and wetlands are currently used to reduce acidification and its problems. To use an effective and gentle product as possible to be used in liming, RISE, in collaboration with the Swedish Lime Association, manufacturers, the Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management and the County Administrative Board in Jönköping,

It is important to save energy for a household and through the open and voluntary energy classification from SIS / TK 519, tapware manufacturers, building companies, property owners and authorities have agreed on a label similar to that for white goods.

Take advantage of experience of failures in your pipe system. Gain knowledge so that you do not repeat old mistakes and use bad design solutions. In addition, you need to know the status of your pipe system, so you can assess when different parts need to be replaced.

Using DNA sequencing and bioinformatics, microorganisms and microbiota can be identified and characterized with high precision in products, processes, clinical and biological samples, as well as in the environment. We support all stages of your sequencing project—from experimental design to translating complex sequencing data into decision-making.

Certifying your wastewater treatment plant according to Revaq (SPCR 167) is a voluntary commitment that shows you are taking responsibility for the environment and for the quality of the sludge spread on farmland. The certification is carried out by RISE as an independent party, which gives your customers and partners extra security and confidence.

Ackredited productions test for third party quality assurance of CIPP-liner projects. The tests usually performed is measurement of wall thickness, ring stiffness or bending stiffness and residual styrene according to standardized methods in EN ISO 11296-4:2018.

The EU Commission has recently proposed a new sewage treatment directive for the measurement of emitted greenhouse gases, such as methane and nitrous oxide. Nitrous oxide contributes about 300 times more to global warming than carbon dioxide, as well as to the depletion of the ozone layer.

The Laboratory for volume and flow offers calibration of density on solid objects, portable density meters, pycnometers and areometers.

Mixers, valves and couplings intended for drinking water must, in accordance with national rules and general guidelines, meet the requirements for leachable lead content.

The National Laboratory for Volume and Flow offers calibration of different types of flowmeters.

The National Laboratory for Volume and Flow offers calibration of flow measurement in field

Testing and assessments of corrosion protection and corrosion properties of materials and coatings are offered for marine environments.

RISE can offer technical evaluation of air filters. We mainly work with testing against the established standards such as ISO 16890 and EN 1822, but we also perform testing adapted to the customer’s requirements.

Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of a material can occur in certain environments specific for the material. Cracks can be induced either by applied stresses, for example by mounting of a component, or by residual stresses from manufacturing and machining. Brass fittings and valves are often used in water piping systems. Failure due to stress corrosi

A brass component intended for use in contact with water, e.g. a component of a water piping system, must be made of a dezincification resistant alloy for retained strength. Dezincification causes embrittlement of the brass material, which in turn can give rise to cracks and eventually breakage of the component, sometimes resulting in extensive and

The Corning 926 chloride analyzer is a direct reading, digital chloride meter. It is designed for fast and accurate determinations of chloride levels in industrial samples. Chlorides between 10 and 300 mg/dm3 ca be measured by using the Corning 926 chloride analyzer.

Choosing the right material for the right application is very important to achieve the desired properties and the requested lifetime of the product.

Certifying biofertilizer according to SPCR 120 is a voluntary commitment that shows you are taking responsibility for the environment and contributing to a circular economy. The certification is carried out by RISE – as an independent party, which gives your customers and partners extra security and confidence.

Certification of compost according to SPCR 152 is a voluntary commitment that clearly shows that you take responsibility for the environment and contribute to the circular economy. The certification is carried out by RISE – as an independent party, which gives your customers and partners extra security and confidence.
