The Government of Canada has released a guideline for Legionella testing in their Public Works - How to Control Legionella in Mechanical Systems. This guidelines outlines that depending on the mechanical system in your property or building, testing can be required as frequency as monthly or bi weekly. Generally, the best practice according to this guideline, as well as BOMA standards, is monthly.

However, the general accepted minimum standard is quarterly.

As outlined by the Government of Canada, in the MD15161, the guidelines for Legionella testing is typically monthly for most mechanical systems, with some exceptions being quarterly. Best practice dictates monthly Legionella testing in order to reasonably optimize safety for residents and tenants.

For general water quality testing, this depends on the building itself. In order buildings, to prolong the health of the plumbing infrastructure, regularly monthly testing can be conducted to sure the water is safe and not wearing the system. In buildings with well maintained systems, or new buildings, quarterly or semi annual testing could be appropriate.

Our Lab is fully accredited by the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA-LAP) and the US-CDC ELITE program for Legionella analyses according to ISO/IEC 17025:2005 and ISO 11731 and ISO 11731-2 standards. This accreditation represents the single most comprehensive and widely recognized international credential in our field. With 10+ years of experience conducting qPCR analysis; and the first commercial laboratory in Canada to offer L. pnuemophila by qPCR over 7 years ago, you can be confident that your Legionella and qPCR samples are being analyzed by the leaders of the industry. In addition to our Lab’s position as Canada’s leader in laboratory analysis for Legionella, they are consulted by the government and trade associations during the drafting of new policies. In 2013, our lab was commissioned by the federal government to write the analytical component of Public Works and Government Service’s MD 15161 – 2013 “Control Of Legionella In Mechanical Systems Standard For Building Owners, Design Professionals, And Maintenance Personnel. This guidance document is now the gold-standard for buildings in Canada.
