Soil quality - Determination of abundance and activity of soil microflora using respiration curves (ISO 17155:2012)
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies a test method for determining the activity of active aerobic, heterotrophic microbial biomass in soils. This method is applicable to the monitoring of soil quality and to the evaluation of the ecotoxic potential of soils and soil materials. It is also applicable for soils sampled along contamination gradients in the field and to soils that are contaminated experimentally in the field or in the laboratory.
Bodenbeschaffenheit - Bestimmung der Abundanz und Aktivität der Bodenmikroflora mit Hilfe von Atmungskurven (ISO 17155:2012)
Diese Internationale Norm legt ein Untersuchungsverfahren zur Bestimmung der Aktivität der aktiven aeroben heterotrophen mikrobiellen Biomasse in Böden fest. Das Verfahren gilt für die Bewertung der Bodenqualität und die Einschätzung des ökotoxischen Potenzials von Böden und Bodenmaterialien. Es gilt auch für Böden, die entlang von Verunreinigungsgradienten im Feld entnommen wurden und für Böden, die im Feld oder im Laboratorium experimentell verunreinigt wurden.

1 Domaine d'application
La présente Norme internationale spécifie une méthode d'essai pour déterminer l'activité de la biomasse microbienne hétérotrophe aérobie active dans les sols. Cette méthode s'applique à la surveillance de la qualité du sol et à l'évaluation du potentiel écotoxique des sols et des matériaux de type sol. Elle s'applique également aux sols prélevés le long de gradients de contamination sur le terrain et aux sols qui sont délibérément contaminés sur le terrain ou en laboratoire à des fins d'analyse.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 17155 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 190, Soil quality, Subcommittee SC 4, Biological methods.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 17155:2002), which has been technically revised.
