This part of ISO 5815 specifies the determination of the biochemical oxygen demand of waters by dilution and seeding with suppression of nitrification after 5 d incubation time.
This part of ISO 5815 is applicable to all waters having biochemical oxygen demands usually between 3 mg/l and 6 000 mg/l. It applies particularly to waste waters. For biochemical oxygen demands greater than 6 000 mg/l of oxygen, the method is still applicable, but the errors caused by the necessary dilutions can influence the analytical quality of the test method. Then the results are to be interpreted
with circumspection.
The results obtained are the product of a combination of biochemical and chemical reactions with participation by living matter which behaves only with occasional reproducibility. They do not have the rigorous and unambiguous character of those resulting from, for example, a single, well-defined, chemical process. Nevertheless, they provide an indication from which the quality of waters can be estimated.

This document specifies a method for the determination of free chlorine and total chlorine in water,
readily applicable to lab- and field-testing. It is based on measurement of the absorption, the red DPD
colour complex in a photometer or the colour intensity by visual comparison of the colour with a scale
of standards that is regularly calibrated.
This method is appropriate for drinking water and other waters, where additional halogens like
bromine, iodine and other oxidizing agents are present in almost negligible amounts. Seawater and
waters containing bromides and iodides comprise a group for which special procedures are to be
carried out.
This method is in practice applicable to concentrations, in terms of chlorine (Cl2), from, for example,
0,000 4 mmol/l to 0,07 mmol/l (e.g. 0,03 mg/l to 5 mg/l) total chlorine. For higher concentrations, the
test portion is diluted.
Commonly, the method is applied as a field method with mobile photometers and commercially available
ready-for-use reagents (liquid reagents, powders and tablets). It is essential that those reagents comply
with minimum requirements and contain the essential reagents and a buffer system suitable to adjust
the measurement solution to a pH range of typically 6,2 to 6,5. If there is doubt that water samples
have uncommon pH values and/or buffer capacities, the user has to check and, if necessary, to adjust
the sample pH to the required range. The pH of the sample is within the range of pH 4 and 8. Adjust, if
necessary, with sodium hydroxide solution or sulfuric acid before the test.
A procedure for the differentiation of combined chlorine of the monochloramine type, combined
chlorine of the dichloramine type and combined chlorine in the form of nitrogen trichloride is
presented in Annex A. In Annex C, a procedure is presented for the determination of free and total
chlorine in drinking and other low polluted waters, for disposable planar reagent-filled cuvettes using a
mesofluidic channel pump/colorimeter.

This part of ISO 17294 specifies a method for the determination of the elements aluminium, antimony,
arsenic, barium, beryllium, bismuth, boron, cadmium, caesium, calcium, cerium, chromium, cobalt,
copper, dysprosium, erbium, gadolinium, gallium, germanium, gold, hafnium, holmium, indium, iridium,
iron, lanthanum, lead, lithium, lutetium, magnesium, manganese, mercury, molybdenum, neodymium,
nickel, palladium, phosphorus, platinum, potassium, praseodymium, rubidium, rhenium, rhodium,
ruthenium, samarium, scandium, selenium, silver, sodium, strontium, terbium, tellurium, thorium,
thallium, thulium, tin, tungsten, uranium and its isotopes, vanadium, yttrium, ytterbium, zinc and
zirconium in water (for example, drinking water, surface water, ground water, waste water and eluates).
Taking into account the specific and additionally occurring interferences, these elements can also be
determined in digests of water, sludges and sediments (for example, digests of water as described in
ISO 15587-1 or ISO 15587-2).
The working range depends on the matrix and the interferences encountered. In drinking water and
relatively unpolluted waters, the limit of quantification (xLQ) lies between 0,002 μg/l and 1,0 μg/l for
most elements. The working range typically covers concentrations between several pg/l
and mg/l depending on the element and pre-defined requirements.
The quantification limits of most elements are affected by blank contamination and depend
predominantly on the laboratory air-handling facilities available on the purity of reagents and the
cleanliness of glassware.
The lower limit of quantification is higher in cases where the determination suffers from interferences
or memory effects (see ISO 17294-1:2004, 8.2).

This part of ISO 9308 specifies a method for the enumeration of Escherichia coli (E. coli) and coliform
bacteria. The method is based on membrane filtration, subsequent culture on a chromogenic coliform
agar medium, and calculation of the number of target organisms in the sample. Due to the low selectivity
of the differential agar medium, background growth can interfere with the reliable enumeration of
E. coli and coliform bacteria, for example, in surface waters or shallow well waters. This method is not
suitable for these types of water.
This part of ISO 9308 is especially suitable for waters with low bacterial numbers that will cause less
than 100 total colonies on chromogenic coliform agar (CCA). These may be drinking water, disinfected
pool water, or finished water from drinking water treatment plants.
Some strains of E. coli which are β-D-glucuronidase negative, such as Escherichia coli O157, will not be
detected as E. coli. As they are β-D-galactosidase positive, they will appear as coliform bacteria on this
chromogenic agar.

This part of ISO 10304 specifies a method for the determination of dissolved bromide, chloride, fluoride, nitrate, nitrite, orthophosphate and sulfate in water, e.g. drinking water, ground water, surface water, waste water, leachates and marine water by liquid chromatography of ions. The lower limit of application is ≥ 0,05 mg/l for bromide and for nitrite, and ≥ 0,1 mg/l for chloride, fluoride, nitrate, orthophosphate and sulfate. The lower limit application depends on the matrix and the interferences encountered. The working range may be expanded to lower concentrations (e.g. ≥ 0,01 mg/l) if an appropriate pre treatment of the sample (e.g. conditions for trace analyses, pre-concentration technique) is applied, and/or if an ultraviolet (UV) detector (for bromide, nitrate and nitrite) is used.

ISO 7887:2011 specifies four different methods, designated A to D, for the examination of colour.
The previously most employed method for assessment of water colour in water treatment plants, limnological surveys, etc. was based on the hexachloroplatinate scale. Methods C and D are harmonized with this traditional procedure.
Method A involves examination of apparent colour by visually observing a water sample in a bottle. This gives only preliminary information, for example for use in field work. Only the apparent colour can be reported.
Method B involves determination of the true colour of a water sample using optical apparatus and is applicable to raw and potable water and to industrial water of low colour. A subclause on interferences is included.
Method C involves determination of the true colour of a water sample using optical apparatus for comparison with hexachloroplatinate concentration at wavelength, λ = 410 nm. A subclause on interferences is included.
Method D involves determination of colour by visual comparison with hexachloroplatinate standard solutions and can be applied to raw and drinking water. A subclause on interferences is included.
Methods A and B are appropriate if the colour hue of the sample differs from the hue of the matching solution.
When stating the result, the procedure used (methods A to D) is also recorded.

This part of ISO 18857 specifies a gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric (GC-MS) determination of selected alkylphenols, their ethoxylates and bisphenol A in non-filtered samples of drinking, ground, surface, and waste waters following solid-phase extraction and derivatisation. The lower limit of the working range depends on the matrix, on the specific compound to be analysed and on the sensitivity of the mass spectrometric detection unit. The method is applicable in a working range from 0,005 μg/l to 0,2 μg/l for 4-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)phenol (OP), and its mono- (OP1EO) and diethoxylate (OP2EO), from 0,03 μg/l to 0,2 μg/l for 4-nonylphenol (mixture of isomers) (NP), and its mono- (NP1EO) and diethoxylate (NP2EO), and from 0,05 μg/l to 0,2 μg/l for bisphenol A (BPA). Depending on the matrix, the method is also applicable to waste water in a working range from 0,1 μg/l to 50 μg/l for OP, OP1EO, OP2EO and BPA, and from 0,5 μg/l to 50 μg/l for NP, NP1EO and NP2EO. The working ranges are based on experimental work carried out in ruggedness testing. Water samples containing suspended matter at concentrations of more than 500 mg/l and waste water samples are extracted by passing a 100 ml sample through the cartridge.

This International Standard specifies a method for the determination of dissolved elements, elements bound to particles ("particulate“) and total content of elements in different types of water (e.g. ground, surface, raw, potable and waste water) for the following elements:
Aluminium, antimony, arsenic, barium, beryllium, bismuth, boron, cadmium, calcium, chromium, cobalt, copper, gallium, indium, iron, lead, lithium, magnesium, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, silicon, silver, sodium, strontium, sulfur, tin, titanium, tungsten, vanadium, zinc and zirconium.
Taking into account the specific and additionally occurring interferences, these elements can also be determined in digests of water, sludges and sediments (for example digests of water as specified in ISO 15587 1 or ISO 15587 2). The method is suitable for mass concentrations of particulate matter in waste water below 2 g/l. The scope of this method may be extended to other matrices or to higher amounts of particulate matter if it can be shown that additionally occurring interferences are considered and corrected for carefully. It is up to the user to demonstrate the fitness for purpose.
Recommended wavelengths, limits of quantification and important spectral interferences for the selected elements are given in Clause 5 (Table 1).

This International Standard specifies a method for the evaluation in aqueous medium of the ultimate
biodegradability and, as additional information, the primary biodegradability and the total elimination from water, of
organic compounds at a given concentration by aerobic microorganisms.
The conditions described in this International Standard normally correspond to optimal conditions for allowing the
maximum value of biodegradation to occur with the chosen inoculum in the test time. These conditions may even be
more favourable than in full-scale wastewater treatment plants, especially if their hydraulic retention time, sludge
age or the adaptation of the activated sludge is not optimal.
The method applies to organic compounds which are
a) water-soluble at the concentration used under the test conditions and not expected to be transformed to
insoluble metabolites if biodegradation and not elimination only shall be determined;
b) nonvolatile, or which have a negligible vapour pressure under the test conditions;
c) not lost by foaming from the test solution;
d) not inhibitory to the test microorganisms at the concentration chosen for the test. Inhibitory effects can be
determined using a suitable test method (e.g. see ISO 8192). If the test compound is toxic, the test
concentration must be lowered, or a pre-exposed inoculum can be used.
This International Standard is also applicable to the measurement of biodegradation and elimination of dissolved
organic compounds in wastewater (also called "test compound" in the method).
NOTE If more information is required to predict the behaviour of test compounds or wastewater in a treatment plant, a
simulation test (e.g. the activated sludge simulation test ISO 11733) should be performed. For appropriate use of this method
and for alternative biodegradation methods, see ISO 15462.
