Start with the intended job
Buy an answer to a defined question, rather than a package name. Tell the laboratory whether you are investigating drinking use, a visible change, equipment design or performance after work.
Prepare a property-specific brief
A sample plan should identify the exact outlet, collection method and treatment operating at the time. Ask the laboratory to supply sampling instructions; a bottle chosen at home may not suit the analysis. Retain the original report and ask how its comparison criteria relate to the intended use in Bali.
Questions for the proposal
- Which parameters and methods are included?
- Who collects and transports samples?
- Does the price include interpretation and a written report?
- What questions remain outside this package?
