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. Esch 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.
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 ISO 10304-2 was prepared by Technical Committee
ISO/TC 147, Water quality, Subcommittee SC 2, Physical, Chemical,
biochemical methods.
ISO 10304 consists of the following Parts, under the general title Water
quality - Determination of dissolved anions by liquid chroma tography of
ions:
- Part 2: Determination o f bromide, chloride, nitfa te, nitfite, orthophos-
pha te and sulfa te in waste wa ter
- Part 3: Determination of chromate, iodide, sulfite, thiocyanate and
thiosulfa te
- Part 4: Determination of chlorate, chloride and chlorite in water with
low con tamina tion
The title of ISO 10304-1 :1992 is Water quality - Determination of dis-
solved fluoride, chloride, nitrite, orthophosphate, bromide, nitra te and sul-
fate ions, using liquid chromatography of ions - Part 1: Method for wa ter

Introduction
The essential minimum requirements of an ion chromatographic System
to be applied within the scope of this part of ISO 10304 are the following:
Resolution power
It is essential that the peak resolution R does not fall below 1,3 for the
anion to be determined and the nearest peak (see clause 6 and figure3).
Method of detection
a) Measurement of the electrical conductivity with or without a sup-
pressor device, respectively.
b) Photometric measurement (UV/VlS), directly or indirectly.
Applicability of the method
Working ranges are according to table 1.
Calibration
Calibration and determination of the linear working range. Use of the
cases of application (see
method of Standard addition for specia
clause 9).
Quality control of the analytical method
Validity C heck of th e calibration function see 8.3). Replicate determi-
nations if necessary.
The diversity of the appropriate and suitable assemblies and the pro-
cedural Steps depending on them (e.g. composition of the mobile phases)
permit a global description only.
For further information on the analytical technique, refer to ISO 103044.

Cross-sensitivities to other anions, such as Br-, Cl-,
NO;, NO,, PO:- and SO:-, may occur, especially in
the presence of sulfite ions whose retention strongly
depends on the selectivity of the separating column
used. Inorganic anions such as fluoroborate or chlorite
tan interfere with the determination of the named in-
organic anions.
NOTE 1 The identification of some anions (e.g. nitrite) or
the detection of interferences (e.g. fatty acids) tan be fa-
cilitated by using a conductivity detector and UV-detector
placed in series.
Anion combinations (e.g. Cl-/l-) which are not listed
in table 2 will not interfere in the specified range of
application.
Solid particles and organic compounds (such as min-
eral oils, detergents and humic acids) shorten the
lifetime of the separating column and are therefore
eliminated before the analysis
is started (sec
clause 7).
Sulfide ions tan Cause errors during the determination
of sulfate; they are eliminated according to clause 7.
