Our laboratory was previously certified under ISO/IEC Guide 25 through the Skim Akreditasi Makmal Malaysia (SAMM) and has since migrated to MS ISO/IEC 17025.
Our laboratory is MS ISO/IEC 17025 certified for the analysis of:
1. Effluent / Sewage / Ground Water / Industrial Wastewater
2. Drinking / River Water
3. Pure Water / Deionized (DI) Water (ppb level)
To identify potential users for sewage effluent reuse and the required quality standards, including the most cost-effective method to improve sewage effluent quality for suitable reuse.
Scheduled wastes include substances that are highly flammable, corrosive, toxic, or capable of reacting dangerously or causing explosions when mixed with other substances. They may exist in liquid, solid, or semi-solid form, such as sludge. There are 77 categories of scheduled waste as established by the Department of Environment Malaysia (Jabatan Alam Sekitar). Strict regulations require companies to manage these wastes properly or face substantial penalties. Handling scheduled waste requires permits issued by the Department of Environment (DOE). In addition, laboratory analysis reports must be uploaded through the ESWIS (Electronic Scheduled Waste Information System) platform for traceability and compliance.
The world has experienced serious environmental changes, especially since the rise of industrialization. Industrial activity has led to the release of unprecedented amounts of toxic substances into the environment. Natural degradation of pollutants is becoming increasingly difficult due to the quantity, complexity, and heterogeneity of pollutants released. One such ubiquitous, toxic, and recalcitrant group of pollutants of concern is heavy metals. Examples of heavy metals include cadmium (Cd), iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), mercury (Hg), lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), arsenic (As), manganese (Mn), nickel (Ni), selenium (Se), and the platinum group metals, which comprise platinum, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium, osmium, and iridium. Heavy metals enter the environment from two major sources: natural sources and anthropogenic, or man-made, sources.
