Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide
federation of national standards bodies (IS0 member bodies). The work
of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through IS0
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. IS0
collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission
(IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
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.
International Standard IS0 13395 was prepared by Technical Committee
lSO/TC 147, Water quality, Subcommittee SC 2, Physical, chemical,
biochemical methods.
Annexes A, B, C and D of this International Standard are for information
only.

llntroduction
Methods using flow analysis enable wet chemistry procedures to be
automatized and are particularly suitable for the processing of many
analytes in water in large series of samples at a high analysis frequency
(up to 100 s amples per hour).
A differentiation is made between flow injection analysis (FIA) [I][*] and
continuous flow analysis (CFA) [31. Both methods share the feature of an
automatic dosage of the sample into a flow system (manifold) where the
analytes in the sample will react with the reagent solutions on their way
through the manifold. The sample preparation may be integrated in the
manifold. The reaction product is measured in a flow detector (e.g. flow
photometer).
