Soil quality - Measurement of the stability of soil aggregates subjected to the action of water (ISO 10930:2012)

Soil quality - Measurement of the stability of soil aggregates subjected to the action of water (ISO 10930:2012)

This International Standard specifies the treatments for the measurement of the stability of soil aggregates. It
can be applied to a wide range of materials originating mainly from the tilled horizons of cultivated soils. It can,
however, also apply to any soil profile horizon, whether it is cultivated or not. Aggregates ranging from 3 mm
to 5 mm are measured.
However, the presence of gravel in the 2 mm to 5 mm fraction can distort the results. If the percentage of gravel
is between 10 % and 40 %, the > 2 mm fraction of the gravel obtained from the tests should be washed and
a mean weighted diameter (MWD, see 6.1) calculated with and without gravel. If the percentage of gravel is
> 40 %, the structural stability tests are not significant. The method does not apply to unstructured materials,
as they are not sufficiently cohesive to form millimetric aggregates.

Bodenbeschaffenheit - Messung der Stabilität von Bodenaggregaten gegen Wasserbewegung (ISO 10930:2012)

Diese Internationale Norm legt die Vorbehandlungen zur Messung der Gefügestabilität von Bodenaggregaten fest. Sie kann auf ein breites Spektrum von Materialien angewendet werden, die im Wesentlichen aus dem bearbeiteten Horizont von Kulturböden stammen. Sie kann darüber hinaus auf jeden Bodenhorizont angewendet werden, unabhängig davon, ob er bearbeitet wird oder nicht. Durch die Messung werden Aggregate von 3 mm bis 5 mm erfasst.
Die Anwesenheit von Kies der Fraktion 2 mm bis 5 mm kann die Ergebnisse verfälschen. Beträgt der Anteil an Kies zwischen 10 % und 40 %, sollte die Kiesfraktion > 2 mm gewaschen werden und ein mittlerer gewichteter Durchmesser (MWD, siehe 6.1), jeweils mit und ohne Kiesanteil, berechnet werden. Beträgt der Kiesanteil mehr als 40 %, sind die Gefügestabilitätstests nicht signifikant. Das Verfahren kann nicht für unstrukturierte Materialien angewendet werden, da sie nicht ausreichend bindig sind, um millimetergroße Aggregate zu bilden.

Qualité du sol - Mesure de la stabilité d'agrégats de sols soumis à l'action de l'eau (ISO 10930:2012)

La présente Norme internationale spécifie les traitements permettant le mesurage de la stabilité d'agrégats
du sol. Elle peut être appliquée à une large gamme de matériaux issus essentiellement des horizons travaillés
des sols cultivés. Elle peut cependant s'appliquer également à n'importe quel horizon du profil de sol, qu'il soit
cultivé ou non. La mesure porte sur des agrégats de 3 mm à 5 mm.
Toutefois, la présence de gravier dans la fraction de 2 mm à 5 mm peut fausser les résultats. Si le pourcentage
de gravier est compris entre 10 % et 40 %, il convient de laver la fraction de gravier supérieur à 2 mm obtenue
à partir des essais et de calculer un diamètre moyen pondéré (MWD, voir 6.1) avec et sans gravier. Si le
pourcentage de gravier est supérieur à 40 %, la stabilité structurale n'est pas significative. La méthode ne
s'applique pas aux matériaux non structurés, ceux-ci ne présentant pas de cohésion suffisante pour former
des agrégats millimétriques.

Kakovost tal - Merjenje obstojnosti talnih agregatov v vodi (ISO 10930:2012)

Ta mednarodni standard določa postopek za merjenje obstojnosti talnih agregatov. Uporablja se lahko za raznolike materiale, ki izvirajo predvsem iz zrahljane plasti obdelanih tal. Vendar se lahko uporablja za katero koli obdelano ali neobdelano plast profila tal. Merijo se agregati v velikosti od 3 mm do 5 mm. Vendar lahko prisotnost gramoza v deležu 2 mm do 5 mm popači rezultate. Če odstotek gramoza znaša od 10 % do 40 %, je treba delež gramoza > 2 mm, pridobljenega s preskusi, izprati in izračunati povprečni ponderirani premer (MWD, glej točko 6.1) z gramozom in brez njega. Če znaša odstotek gramoza > 40 %, preskusi strukturne obstojnosti niso bistveni. Metoda se ne uporablja za nestrukturirane materiale, ker niso dovolj kohezivni, da bi tvorili milimetrske agregate.

Soil quality - Sampling of soil invertebrates - Part 4: Sampling, extraction and identification of soil-inhabiting nematodes (ISO 23611-4:2022)
SIST EN ISO 23611-4:2023

This document specifies a method for sampling and handling free-living nematodes from terrestrial field soils as a prerequisite for using them as bio-indicators (e.g. to assess the quality of a soil as a habitat for organisms).
This document applies to all terrestrial biotopes in which nematodes occur. The sampling design of field studies in general is specified in ISO 18400-101.
This document is not applicable to aquatic nematodes because of differences in the sample matrix (e.g. water column). Methods for some other soil organism groups such as earthworms, collembolans enchytraeids or macro-invertebrates are covered in ISO 23611-1, ISO 23611-2, ISO 23611-3 and ISO 23611-5.
This document does not cover the pedological characterization of the site which is highly recommendable when sampling soil invertebrates. ISO 10390, ISO 10694, ISO 11272, ISO 11274, ISO 11277, ISO 11461 and ISO 11465 include suitable procedures for measuring pH, particle size distribution, C/N ratio, organic carbon content and water-holding capacity.

Soil quality - Leaching procedures for subsequent chemical and ecotoxicological testing of soil and soil-like materials - Part 4: Influence of pH on leaching with initial acid/base addition (ISO 21268-4:2019)
SIST EN ISO 21268-4:2020

This document specifies a test to obtain information on the short- and long-term leaching behaviour and characteristic properties of materials.
The document has been developed to measure the pH-dependent release of inorganic and organic substances from soil and soil-like material as well as to produce eluates for subsequent ecotoxicological testing. For ecotoxicological testing, see ISO 15799 and ISO 17616. The equilibrium condition, as defined in this document, is established by the addition of predetermined amounts of acid or base to reach desired final pH values.
NOTE 1  Volatile organic substances include the low molecular weight substances in mixtures such as mineral oil.
NOTE 2  It is not always possible to optimize test conditions simultaneously for inorganic and organic substances and optimum test conditions can also vary between different groups of organic substances. Test requirements for organic substances are generally more stringent than those for inorganic substances. The test conditions suitable for measuring the release of organic substances will generally also be applicable to inorganic substances.
NOTE 3  Within the category of organic substances, a significant difference in behaviour exists between the more polar, relatively water-soluble compounds and apolar, hydrophobic organic substances (HOCs). In the latter case, mechanisms of release (e.g. particle-bound or dissolved organic carbon-bound) can be more crucial as well as sorption losses of soluble HOCs on different materials with which they come in contact (e.g. bottles, filters). The test and the results should be used for leaching of organic substances only with thorough consideration of the specific properties of the substances in question and the associated potential problems.
NOTE 4  For ecotoxicological testing, eluates representing the release of both inorganic and organic substances are needed. In this document, ecotoxicological testing is meant to include genotoxicological testing.
The test method produces eluates, which can subsequently be characterized by physical, chemical and ecotoxicological methods in accordance with existing standard methods. The test is not suitable for substances that are volatile under ambient conditions.
For the purposes of ecotoxicological tests, the relevant pH range (see 8.2) will usually be pH 5 to pH 9.
This test is mainly aimed at being used for routine and control purposes, and it cannot be used alone to describe all leaching properties of a soil. Additional leaching tests are needed for that extended goal. This document does not address issues related to health and safety. It only determines the leaching properties outlined in Clause 5.

SIST EN ISO 21268-1:2020

This document specifies a test providing information on leaching of soil and soil-like materials under the experimental conditions specified hereafter, and particularly at a liquid to solid ratio of 2 l/kg dry matter.
The document has been developed to measure the release of inorganic and organic substances from soil and soil-like material as well as to produce eluates for subsequent ecotoxicological testing. For ecotoxicological testing, see ISO 15799[6] and ISO 17616[7].

Soil quality - Leaching procedures for subsequent chemical and ecotoxicological testing of soil and soil-like materials - Part 3: Up-flow percolation test (ISO 21268-3:2019)
SIST EN ISO 21268-3:2020

This document specifies a test, which is aimed at determining the leaching behaviour of inorganic and organic substances from a soil and soil-like materials. The method is a once-through up-flow percolation test under standardized conditions of flow rate. The material is leached under dynamic hydraulic conditions. The document has been developed to measure the release of inorganic and organic substances from soil and soil-like material as well as to produce eluates for subsequent ecotoxicological testing. For ecotoxicological testing, see ISO 15799[6] and ISO 17616[7]. The test results enable the distinction between different release patterns, for instance wash-out and release under the influence of interaction with the matrix, when approaching local equilibrium between material and leachant.
This test method produces eluates, which can subsequently be characterized by physical, chemical and ecotoxicological methods in accordance with existing standard methods. The results of eluate analysis are presented as a function of the liquid/solid (L/S) ratio. The test is not suitable for substances that are volatile under ambient conditions.
NOTE 1    Volatile organic substances include the low-molecular-weight substances in mixtures such as mineral oil.
NOTE 2    It is not always possible to optimize test conditions simultaneously for inorganic and organic substances and optimum test conditions can also vary between different groups of organic substances. Test requirements for organic substances are generally more stringent than those for inorganic substances.

NOTE 4    For ecotoxicological testing, eluates representing the release of both inorganic and organic substances are needed. In this document, ecotoxicological testing is also meant to include genotoxicological testing.
NOTE 5    The test is generally not suitable for soils with hydraulic conductivities below 10−8 m/s (see also Annex B). It can be difficult to maintain the designated flow rate already in the range of saturated hydraulic conductivity between 10−7 m/s and 10−8 m/s.
The application of this test method alone is not sufficient for the determination of the leaching behaviour of a material under specified conditions different to those from the test procedure, since this generally requires the application of several test methods, behavioural modelling and model validation. This document does not address issues related to health and safety. It only determines the leaching properties as outlined in Clause 4.

Soil quality - Sampling of soil invertebrates - Part 3: Sampling and extraction of enchytraeids (ISO 23611-3:2019)
SIST EN ISO 23611-3:2020

This document specifies a method for sampling, handling and extracting enchytraeids from terrestrial field soils as a prerequisite for using these animals as bioindicators (e.g. to assess the quality of a soil as a habitat for organisms).
Basic information on the ecology of enchytraeids and their use as bioindicators in the terrestrial environment is included in the Bibliography.
This document applies to all terrestrial biotopes in which enchytraeids occur. The sampling design of field studies in general is given in ISO 18400-101. These details can vary according to the climatic/regional conditions of the site to be sampled and an overview on the determination of effects of pollutants on enchytraeids in field situations is given in Reference [6].
Methods for some other soil organism groups such as earthworms or arthropods are given in ISO 23611-1, ISO 23611-2, ISO 23611-4 and ISO 23611-5.
This document is not applicable for very wet or flooded soils and might be difficult to use under extreme climatic or geographical conditions (e.g. in high mountains).
When sampling soil invertebrates, it is highly recommendable to characterize the site (e.g. concerning soil properties, climate and land use). However, such a characterization is not covered by this document. ISO 10390, ISO 10694, ISO 11272, ISO 11274, ISO 11277, ISO 11461 and ISO 11465 are more suitable for measuring pH, particle size distribution, C/N ratio, organic carbon content and water-holding capacity.

Soil quality - Guidance on leaching procedures for subsequent chemical and ecotoxicological testing of soils and soil materials (ISO 18772:2008)
SIST EN ISO 18772:2014

ISO 18772:2008 provides guidance on the appropriate use of leaching tests on soil and soil materials, in order to determine the leaching behaviour in the framework of impact assessment, or for compliance and comparison purposes, including information on the following:
the choice of leaching tests, depending on the nature of the problem to be solved and the specific features of the different tests;
the interpretation of the test results;
the limitations of the tests.
In this respect, it is important to keep in mind that leaching tests do not aim to simulate real field conditions, but are designed to address the contact between a solid and a liquid phase for different purposes that are described in ISO 18772:2008.
ISO 18772:2008 only concerns natural, contaminated and agricultural soils and soil materials. Questions relating to the leaching of wastes are not covered by ISO 18772:2008. It also does not cover the subject of bioavailability of contaminants to living organisms, which is covered by ISO 17402.

Soil quality - Sampling of soil invertebrates - Part 6: Guidance for the design of sampling programmes with soil invertebrates (ISO 23611-6:2012)
SIST EN ISO 23611-6:2013

This part of ISO 23611 provides guidance for the design of field studies with soil invertebrates (e.g. for the
monitoring of the quality of a soil as a habitat for organisms). Detailed information on the sampling of the
most important soil organisms is provided in the other parts of this International Standard (ISO 23611-1 to
ISO 23611-5).
This part of ISO 23611 is used for all terrestrial biotopes in which soil invertebrates occur. Basic information on
the design of field studies in general is already laid down in ISO 10381-1. This information can vary according
to the national requirements or the climatic/regional conditions of the site to be sampled.
NOTE While this part of ISO 23611 aims to be applicable globally for all terrestrial sites that are inhabited by soil
invertebrates, the existing information refers mostly to temperate regions. However, the (few) studies from other (tropical
and boreal) regions, as well as theoretical considerations, allow the conclusion that the principles laid down in this part of
ISO 23611 are generally valid, References [4], [6], [40], [21].
This part of ISO 23611 gives information on site-specific risk assessment of contaminated land, study of
potential side effects of anthropogenic impacts (e.g. the application of chemicals or the building of roads), the
