20 PFAS Monitored in Drinking Water
Directive (EU) 2020/2184 establishes a “Sum of PFAS” parametric value of 0.10 µg/L for the specified PFAS considered of concern for water intended for human consumption.
This value corresponds to 100 ng/L for the sum of the specified PFAS.
BJL Laboratoires provides targeted laboratory testing of these 20 PFAS in drinking-water samples.
Can Tap Water Be Tested for PFAS?
Yes. A drinking-water sample collected from a tap can be submitted for analysis of the 20 PFAS included in the standard service.
The sampling bottle is supplied by BJL Laboratoires and the required sample volume for this service is 100 mL.
Why Test Drinking Water for PFAS?
PFAS are persistent substances that may reach water resources and drinking-water distribution systems. Laboratory testing can be used to:
- determine whether targeted PFAS are detected;
- measure their concentrations;
- compare different sampling points;
- investigate a suspected contamination;
- monitor a drinking-water resource over time;
- support water-quality assessments.

How to Collect a PFAS Water Sample
Sampling conditions are important for PFAS analysis because some materials and consumables may contain fluorinated compounds.
- use the bottle supplied or specified by the laboratory;
- avoid uncontrolled use of PTFE and fluoropolymer materials;
- identify the sampling location;
- record the sampling date and time;
- follow the specified storage and shipping conditions.
For the standard drinking-water test, BJL Laboratoires supplies the sampling bottle.
