U-Incontrol: Water Compliance that you control
U-Incontrol is our new self-sampling method for water tests: easy, practical and lowers your costs, while compliance with regulations is assured.
Four steps to compliance!
- We ship our compliant testkits to wherever you need them.
- Your crew carries sampling, and transports samples to our laboratory and couriers – with help of your agent.
- We ensure delivery of samples to our network of ISO-17025 accredited laboratories.
- Within 2 to 3 weeks test results are submitted, and these will remain available in our secure online portal so you can access them whenever requested.
U-Incontrol offers our expertise, while you are truly in control.
U-Incontrol Self-sampling water tests are available for all Water types. We give you access to same expertise and help you ensure compliance with U-Incontrol by Control Union, as when our own in-house inspectors draw your samples. And with U-Incontrol you can do the water testing when it best suits you, on your schedule for a fraction of the costs.
Our U-Incontrol self-sampling method complies with all international water regulations (including TRO by SM4550-Cl). So, this time you can confidently check ´YES´ in your Annual EPA report submission.
Use U-Incontrol Self-Sampling water testing for:
- Drinking / Potable / Freshwater
- Black / Sewage water
- Ballast water
- (Oily) Bilge water

Why do you need U-Incontrol?
Testing your vessel’s discharge and drinking water is essential for compliance. Regulations are fragmented, and non-compliance can result in penalties, delays and harm to people or the environment.
Our innovative U-Incontrol service allows you to perform all tests cost-efficiently. Although omitting to test might seem a cheap cost reduction, in the long run it will result to be ´penny-wise, pound-foolish´.
U-Incontrol is perfect for Fresh Drinking Water and Scrubber Exhaust Wash Water. We recommend bundling with Control Unions Water tests for Gray water and Ballast Bilge Water.
