Knowledge base

To support the implementation of the ZDHC wastewater requirements in the value chain and to ensure a consistent level of data quality, ZDHC has established the ZDHC Laboratory and Certifier Approval Programme.

Only ZDHC Approved Wastewater Laboratories, that have been approved to test against the ZDHC wastewater requirements, can; perform sampling, testing, and report results into the ZDHC Gateway. These laboratories must strictly follow both “the ZDHC Wastewater requirements” and “the ZDHC Wastewater and Sludge Laboratory Sampling and Analysis Plan (SAP)”, which provides a detailed framework for laboratories to determine the concentration of parameters in wastewater and sludge.
