Bioconsult Srl

Bioconsult Srl is an Italian testing and consultancy laboratory headquartered in Rome, at Largo Bacone 15/16 (postal code 00137), in the Lazio region. Founded in 1973 and operating for over fifty years, the company has established itself as a reference institution for quality control, chemical and microbiological analysis, and environmental and occupational health services in central Italy. With a multidisciplinary team of twenty to forty-nine professionals — including analytical chemists, biologists, engineers, industrial hygienists, occupational physicians, and fire-safety specialists — Bioconsult Srl combines laboratory testing with on-site consulting and monitoring to serve both public-sector bodies and private enterprises across a wide range of regulated sectors.

At the core of Bioconsult Srl's capabilities is its accredited analytical laboratory, which performs chemical, physico-chemical, and microbiological analyses on a broad spectrum of matrices. These include potable water, industrial process water, wastewater, natural surface and groundwater, soils, sediments, atmospheric air, indoor air, gaseous emissions from industrial stacks, food and beverage products, and pharmaceutical preparations. The laboratory is equipped with modern scientific instrumentation that supports accurate, reproducible, and traceable results across all tested matrices, ensuring clients receive data that withstands regulatory scrutiny and third-party audit.

Bioconsult Srl holds ACCREDIA accreditation number 1274L, issued by Italy's national accreditation body (Accredia — Ente Italiano di Accreditamento) in conformance with UNI CEI EN ISO/IEC 17025:2018, the internationally recognized standard for testing and calibration laboratories. This accreditation covers numerous chemical and microbiological test methods. Beyond ISO/IEC 17025, the company operates a quality management system certified to ISO 9001:2015, an environmental management system certified to ISO 14001:2015, and an occupational health and safety management system certified to ISO 45001:2018. Bioconsult Srl is also specifically authorized by the Italian Ministry of Health to perform asbestos fiber identification and quantification analyses, with Ministry authorization code 228LAZ36 and entry on the national Register of Authorized Laboratories, and is recognized and authorized by the Municipality of Rome for chemical and microbiological testing activities.

In the environmental sector, the laboratory offers comprehensive testing services spanning all primary environmental matrices. For water, this includes microbiological parameters (total coliforms, E. coli, Legionella, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterococcus, heterotrophic plate counts), chemical and physico-chemical parameters (pH, conductivity, turbidity, hardness, nitrates, nitrites, ammonium, chlorine, heavy metals, organic micropollutants, PFAS, and disinfection by-products), and targeted analyses for compliance with Italian Legislative Decree 31/2001 on drinking water and related EU directives. Soil and sediment testing encompasses characterization of contaminated sites, waste classification according to the European List of Waste (ELW), metal speciation, hydrocarbon content, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and other organic contaminants. Atmospheric emission monitoring from industrial stacks and indoor air quality assessments complete the environmental portfolio.

In the food and beverage sector, Bioconsult Srl performs sampling and analysis at all stages of the supply chain — production, processing, storage, commercialization, and distribution. Services include microbiological testing for pathogens and hygiene indicators (Salmonella spp., Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Campylobacter, Clostridium, yeasts and moulds), as well as chemical testing for food contaminants, residues, and quality parameters. The laboratory also assists food businesses in the design and auditing of HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) management systems, providing the analytical data needed to validate critical control points and demonstrate regulatory compliance under EU food hygiene law.

For the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors, Bioconsult Srl carries out chemical characterization of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and excipients in accordance with the European Pharmacopoeia (E.P.) and the United States Pharmacopeia (U.S.P.), supporting identity and purity testing, limit tests, and quality-control release protocols. In hospital and clinical environments, the laboratory conducts air-quality monitoring in operating theatres, intensive-care units, and sterile-preparation areas, including microbiological bioburden counts and particulate measurements, helping healthcare facilities demonstrate compliance with cleanroom and infection-control requirements.

Beyond analytical testing, Bioconsult Srl is an integrated occupational health and safety service provider. Its qualified staff conduct asbestos surveys and fibre counting (scanning electron microscopy and phase-contrast optical microscopy), noise and vibration exposure assessments, electromagnetic field measurements, microclimatic monitoring in workplaces, and fire-risk evaluations. The company also provides training and advisory services on workplace safety legislation (Italian Legislative Decree 81/2008), and supports clients in the classification and compliant disposal of hazardous waste, remediation of contaminated industrial sites, and environmental impact assessments for permitting and compliance purposes.

With over five decades of uninterrupted operation in Rome and a national delivery reach across Italy, Bioconsult Srl is a credible, long-established analytical partner for organizations seeking a single-source provider capable of covering environmental compliance, food safety, pharmaceutical quality control, industrial hygiene, and occupational health monitoring. Its ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation through ACCREDIA, combined with multiple management-system certifications and specialized Ministry authorizations, ensures that results are scientifically defensible and accepted by Italian and European regulatory authorities.
