Coway’s Seoul-based Research & Development Center, the Environmental Technology Research Institute, attained the top rating in the US ERA’s proficiency testing across all drinking water evaluation categories, including the highest rating in the Water Supply for Drinking Water Proficiency Testing. Coway met all the evaluation criteria in all categories and was named a certified Laboratory of Excellence.
This is the 17th consecutive year Coway has been internationally recognized for meeting performance testing requirements for water quality analysis.
“Since becoming the industry’s first drinking water quality inspection agency accredited by South Korea’s Ministry of the Environment in 2008, the Coway Environmental Technology Research Institute’s test and analysis capabilities have been annually verified by external certification bodies,” Coway wrote in an online statement. “The laboratory has been approved as a designated TÜV SÜD testing laboratory, TSP (Technical Service Provider) by WQA (Water Quality Association), and an international testing laboratory with accreditation from KOLAS (Korea Laboratory Accreditation Scheme). Its world-class water quality analysis capabilities allow it to issue approximately 20,000 test reports annually.”
