Water quality - Guidelines for the selection of sampling methods and devices for benthic macroinvertebrates in fresh waters (ISO 10870:2012)
This International Standard specifies criteria for the selection of sampling methods and devices (operation and
performance characteristics) used to evaluate benthic macroinvertebrate populations in fresh waters (rivers,
canals, lakes, and reservoirs). The methods and devices considered in this International Standard are suitable
for sampling all major components of the benthic assemblage. They are not suitable for sampling meiofauna.
Wasserbeschaffenheit - Anleitung zur Auswahl von Probenahmeverfahren und -geräten für benthische Makro-Invertebraten in Binnengewässern (ISO 10870:2012)
Diese Internationale Norm legt Kriterien für die Auswahl von Probenahmeverfahren und –geräten
(Einsatzbereiche und Funktionseigenschaften) für die Beurteilung von benthischen Makroinvertebraten-
Populationen des Süßwassers (Flüsse, Kanäle, Seen und Talsperren) fest. Die in dieser
Internationalen Norm betrachteten Verfahren und Geräte sind geeignet für die Probenahme aller wesentlichen
Komponenten der benthischen Besiedlung. Sie sind nicht geeignet für die Probenahme der Meio-Fauna.
Qualité de l'eau - Lignes directrices pour la sélection des méthodes et des dispositifs d'échantillonnage des macro-invertébrés benthiques dans les eaux douces (ISO 10870:2012)
La présente Norme internationale spécifie les critères pour la sélection des méthodes et dispositifs d'échantillonnage
(fonctionnement et caractéristiques de performance) utilisés pour évaluer les populations de macro-invertébrés
benthiques dans les eaux douces (rivières, canaux, lacs et réservoirs). Les méthodes et dispositifs examinés
dans la présente Norme internationale conviennent à l'échantillonnage de l'ensemble des principaux composants
de l'assemblage benthique. Ils ne sont pas appropriés à l'échantillonnage de la méiofaune.
Kakovost vode - Navodila za izbiro metod in opreme za vzorčenje bentoških nevretenčarjev v celinskih vodah (ISO 10870:2012)
Ta mednarodni standard opisuje izbiro opreme in metod za vzorčenje (lastnosti in karakteristike delovanja), ki se uporabljajo za oceno populacij bentoških makronevretenčarjev v celinskih vodah (rekah, kanalih, jezerih in zbiralnikih). Oprema in metode iz tega standarda so primerne za vzorčenje vseh glavnih komponent bentoških združb. Niso primerne za vzorčenje meiofavne.

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 10870 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 147, Water quality, Subcommittee SC 5,
Biological methods.
This first edition of ISO 10870 cancels and replaces ISO 7828:1985, ISO 8265:1988, and ISO 9391:1993, which
have been technically revised.

Introduction
Macroinvertebrates are an important component of fresh-water ecosystems and are the most widely used biological
group to monitor aquatic ecological status (Reference [6]). A wide range of sampling and survey methodologies
has been developed for a variety of specific applications as well as ecological assessment including: conservation
status, biodiversity assessment, pollution control, and habitat enhancement (Reference [7]).
This International Standard gives guidelines on the selection, design, operation, and performance characteristics
of sampling devices for the evaluation of benthic macroinvertebrate taxonomic composition, abundance, and
diversity in fresh waters, which can all be components of the applications given in the first parargraph.
INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 10870:2012(E)
Water quality — Guidelines for the selection of sampling methods
and devices for benthic macroinvertebrates in fresh waters
WARNING — Working in or around water is inherently dangerous. This International Standard does
not purport to address the safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the
user to establish appropriate health and safety practices and to ensure compliance with any national
regulatory conditions.
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies criteria for the selection of sampling methods and devices (operation and
performance characteristics) used to evaluate benthic macroinvertebrate populations in fresh waters (rivers,
canals, lakes, and reservoirs). The methods and devices considered in this International Standard are suitable
for sampling all major components of the benthic assemblage. They are not suitable for sampling meiofauna.

2.1
abundance
total number of individuals in a taxon, per sampling unit or estimated per unit area
2.2
benthic
dwelling at the bottom of an aquatic environment
2.3
canal
artificial watercourse constructed, usually, to join rivers, lakes or seas, and often of a size suitable for navigation
