Query the readings in your monitoring reports
Certant pulls readings out of monitoring PDFs, compares them with the limits in your approved documents and shows every site-month with no reading.
Turbidity recorded 5.6 NTU. Documented limit 5.0 NTU.
Years of readings sit in PDFs
Each monthly report has a table of readings by site. To answer one question across three years you open thirty-six PDFs, and a month where a site didn't report is easy to miss among them.
What Certant reads
Tables that change layout from one year's report to the next are read into the same set of readings.
| Document | What it supplies |
|---|---|
| Monitoring reports | The tables of readings in each monthly or annual report, by site, measure and date. |
| Approved limits | The limit for each measure, from your own management plan, licence conditions or operating procedure. |
| Site list | The sites and periods you expect a reading for. |

Your team decides what happens next
When a reading is above its documented limit, or a site-month is missing, Certant raises it with the sources attached and drafts a follow-up. A monitoring lead reviews the draft before anything is sent.

- "We hold no turbidity reading for Western Bore in April 2025. March and May are on file. Could you send the April results, or confirm that no sample was taken?"
What setup involves
We load a run of your monitoring reports and the document that states your limits. You check the extracted readings against a few reports you know well before relying on the rest.
| Area | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Purpose | This is reporting and evidence review. It doesn't control a treatment process or give water-safety advice. |
| Limits | Every limit comes from a document you have approved. Certant doesn't supply regulatory thresholds of its own. |
| Gaps | A site-month with no reading is shown as a gap and is never filled with an estimate. |
Bring a year of reports
Send us twelve months of monitoring reports and the plan that sets your limits. We'll show you the readings as a table you can question.
