07.100.20 - Microbiology of water

This standard specifies a method for the detection, semi-quantitative and quantitative (MPN) enumeration of thermotolerant Campylobacter species. The method can be applied to all kinds of waters including: drinking water, ground water and well water, fresh, brackish and saline surface water, swimming pools, spa and hydrotherapy pools, recreational waters, agricultural waters and runoff, untreated and treated wastewater and also sand and other sediments. This method can be used for the detection ...view more

This document specifies a method for the detection and quantification of Legionella spp. and
L. pneumophila using a quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). It specifies general
methodological requirements, performance evaluation requirements, and quality control requirements.
Technical details specified in this document are given for information only. Any other technical
solutions complying with the performance requirements are suitable.
NOTE 1 For performance requirements, see Claus...view more

This document specifies requirements and gives guidance for performing the manipulations common
to each culture technique for the microbiological examination of water, particularly the preparation of
samples, culture media, and general apparatus and glassware, unless otherwise required in the specific
standard. It also describes the various techniques available for detection and enumeration by culture
and the criteria for determining which technique is appropriate.

This document deals with characterization of microbiological methods. In terms of this document,
characterization means the study of parameters that can be measured to describe how the method is
likely to perform in a given set of conditions, which can be described as performance characteristics.
The document describes procedures for the determination of performance characteristics which can be
used for subsequent validation or verification of methods.
The emphasis is on selective quantitat...view more

This International Standard specifies a method for the determination of the inhibition of the growth of the first fronds of Spirodela polyrhiza germinated from dormant turions, by substances and mixtures contained in water or waste water, including treated municipal waste water and industrial effluents.
The test is also applicable to pure chemicals and in particular plant protection products and pesticides.

This document specifies culture methods for the isolation of Legionella and estimation of their numbers
in water samples.
These methods are applicable to all kinds of water samples including potable, industrial, waste and
natural waters. These methods can be used for water related matrices, e.g. biofilms, sediments, etc.
Not all Legionella species are culturable; therefore, the methods described in this document do not
recover all species of Legionella.
