Why OIKOS
Results Regulators Accept, Insight Clients Rely On
Three things set OIKOS apart from a typical testing laboratory: a dual accreditation that covers both testing and the proficiency testing programmes other laboratories use, deep technical expertise in specialised analytical methods, and a transparent way of working that makes our reports straightforward to defend in front of inspectors, auditors and management.
- Two parallel PCA accreditations — testing (AB 934) and proficiency testing (PT 010)
- POLLAB (no. 283) and EUROLAB member since 1995
- Reports accepted by WIOŚ, PIP, water authorities and PCA auditors
How it works
From Enquiry to Report in Three Steps
Send us your permit, regulation reference or measurement requirement. We review the scope and prepare a fixed-price quote - typically within two business days.
Our mobile teams travel to your facility anywhere in Poland. Sampling is performed under accredited methods, with full chain of custody from the moment we collect the sample.
You receive an accredited test report within 10 business days of sampling - formatted to be submitted directly to WIOŚ, PIP, the water authority or your internal audit.
How We Work
One Quote. One Visit. One Coordinated Report.
We coordinate everything from a single point of contact: scoping, sampling visits, laboratory analysis and the final report. Most clients combine workplace, environmental and acceptance measurements into one engagement — reducing site visits, simplifying paperwork and producing reports formatted to fit directly into your auditor’s or regulator’s expectations.
- Transparent quotes — no hidden fees, no surprise scope changes
- Specialists who perform sampling AND analysis — not contractors
Why Choose Us
Experience, Methods and a Team That Stays
Accredited Methods
All measurements follow PCA-accredited reference methods, with documented uncertainty and traceability to national standards. Each report includes the accreditation symbol and the applied reference method, ready for direct submission to your regulator or auditor.
Validated Sampling Devices
Our air samplers (filters, sorbent tubes, absorption solutions) are validated for the analytical methods we use – no blank samples or recovery checks needed by the ordering laboratory.
Unique Substance Capability
We measure substances few competitors offer – formamide, TETA, DETA, diisocyanates, asbestos and mineral fibres — across the full PN-EN ISO/IEC 17025 scope.
Stable, Experienced Team
Many of our specialists have been with OIKOS for over a decade. The person sampling at your facility is the same one analysing the result in the laboratory.
