Hello all,

Can you recommend me a Laboratory that do Colony count test based in EU regulation, both in United State or Mexico. Our customers are from Europa/Asia, so we need compliance too with these regulations.

Thank you so much!

Happy Thanksgiving Day ^_^

Almost Christmas :santa:

Hi QS,

Yr query maybe requires more detail.

There are a variety of types of "Colony Counts" depending on the context/objective.

Which specific EU Regulation are you referring to ?

I'm referred on this EU regulation COMMISSION DIRECTIVE (EU) 2015-1787 of 6 Oct 2015 that mentioned:

Enumeration of culturable microorganism - Colony count 22°C (EN ISO 6222)

Enumeration of culturable microorganism - Colony count 36°C (EN ISO 6222)

Hi QS,

Thks yr response.

I deduce from the Directive that you are only interested in drinking water analysis. (afaik the quoted lower temperature value is not routinely used for any other products/APC).

I anticipate that most accredited commercial laboratories are capable of colony count of water. The only slightly special requirement might be a sub-ambient incubator.

unfortunately, no one wants to carry out the test, at least not the laboratories we have contacted. That's why he's looking for recommendations.

Thanks!
