Is0 5815 : 1989 (El 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, govern- mental 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 approval before their acceptance as International Standards by the IS0 Council. They are approved in accordance with IS0 procedures requiring at least 75 % approval by the member bodies voting. International Standard IS0 5815 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 147, Water quality.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD IS0 5815-1989 (E) Water quality - Determination of biochemical oxygen demand after 5 days (BOD5) - Dilution and seeding method 1 Scope This International Standard specifies a method for the empirical and conventional determination of the biochemical oxygen demand of waters by dilution and seeding. The method is applicable to all waters having biochemical oxygen demands greater than or equal to 3 mg of oxygen per litre and not exceeding 6 000 mg of oxygen per Iitre. For biochemical oxygen demands greater than 6 000 mg of oxygen per litre, the method is still applicable, but the errors caused by the dilutions necessary require the results to be interpreted with circumspection. The results obtained are the product of a combination of biochemical and chemical actions. They do not have the rigorous and unambiguous character of those resulting from, for example, a single, well-defined, chemical process. Never- theless, they provide an indication from which the quality of waters can be estimated. The test may be influenced by the presence of various substances. Those which are toxic to micro-organisms, for example bactericides, toxic metals or free chlorine, will inhibit biochemical oxidation. The presence of algae or nitrifying micro-organisms may produce artificially high results. Annex A gives infor and temperatur .es. mation on alternative incubation periods 2 Normative references I SQ 7393-l : 1985, Water quality - Determination of free chlorine and total chlorine - Part I : Titrime tric method using N, N-diethyl- 7,4phenylenediamine.

The use of 250 ml flasks is preferred. If the pH of the sample is not between 6 and 8, neutralize it after having determined by a separate test the volume of hydrochloric acid solution (5.5) or of sodium hydroxide solution (5.6) necessary. Ignore any precipitate which may be formed. at 8.1.2 Presence of free and/or combined chlorine Neutralize the free and combined chlorine in the sample by adding the required volume of sodium sulfite solution (5.7). Take care to avoid adding an excess. 6.2 Incubator, capable of being maintained 20 OC I!I 1 OC. 6.3 Equipment for determining dissolved oxygen concentration.1) IS0 standards for free and combined chlorine have been pub- lished (IS0 7393-l and IS0 7393-2). 6.4 Means of refrigeration (0 OC to 4 OC), for transport and storage of the sample. 6.5 Dilution vessel, a stoppered glass flask graduated to the nearest millilitre, of a capacity dependent on the volume of the diluted sample used. 8.2 Preparation of test solutions 8.2.1 BOD determination without suppression of nitrification Bring the test sample to a temperature of about 20 OC and shake in a half-filled vessel, so as to eliminate any possible supersaturation with oxygen. 7 Storage of the sample Store the sample at a temperature between 0 OC and 4 OC in a filled and hermetically stoppered bottle until the analysis is performed. Begin the determination of the BOD as soon as possible and, whenever feasible, within 24 h of collection of the sample. Place a known volume of the sample in the dilution vessel (6.5) and add seeded dilution water (5.4) to the mark. Mix gently to avoid entrapment of air bubbles. If the dilution factor to be used is greater than 100 carry out serial dilutions in two or more steps. 1) The determination of dissolved oxygen may be carried out by means of the iodometric method (see IS0 5813) or by means of the electrochemical probe method (see IS0 5814). 3 SIST EN 1899-2:2000

Bring the test sample to a temperature of about 20 OC and shake in a half-filled vessel so as to eliminate any possible supersaturation with oxygen. Place a known volume of the sample in the dilution vessel (6.51, add 2 ml of allylthiourea solution (5.9) per litre of diluted sample and fill to the mark with seeded dilution water (5.4). The BOD, obtained shall fall between 180 mg/l and 230 mg/l. If not, check the seeding water and, if necessary, the technique of the analyst. Mix gently to avoid entrapment of air bubbles. Carry out the test simultaneously with the test samples. NOTES 1 Alternatively use as suppressant 2-chloro-6-trichloromethylpyridine (TCMP) (Cl-C,H,N-Ccl,) fixed on solid sodium chloride.
