SEOUL, South Korea,
June 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Coway,
the "Best Life Solution Company," announced today that its
Seoul-based R&D Center, the
Environmental Technology Research Institute, has been recognized
for its technical expertise by earning the highest rating in the
Water Supply for Drinking Water Proficiency Testing.
Proficiency Testing (PT) is an internationally recognized
assessment program that evaluates a laboratory's analytical
performance across a range of analytes at environmentally
significant concentrations in unknown samples. Coway has
participated in the Water Supply for Drinking Water PT Scheme
provided by ERA, the global providers of Proficiency Testing (PT)
products and Certified Reference Materials (CRMs) to thousands of
laboratories around the world and across multiple industries.
While participating in the testing, Coway Environmental
Technology Research Institute met all evaluation criteria across
all categories to be named a certified Laboratory of
Excellence.
Coway received the highest grade, 'Satisfactory,' in all 18
performance evaluation categories. Seventeen of these were related
to drinking water, including testing for heavy metals, organic
substances, and ion materials. The additional category was for
mattress material emissions.
The evaluation marks the Coway Environmental Technology Research
Institute's 17th consecutive year of being
internationally recognized for meeting the requirements in the
performance testing of its water quality analysis capabilities,
setting an industry record.
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. 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.
