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 16133 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 190, Soil quality, Subcommittee SC 7, Soil and site
assessment.

Introduction
Monitoring is the process of repetitive observation, for defined purposes, of one or more components of the
environment according to pre-arranged schedules in space and time using comparable methods for
environmental sensing and data collection (see reference [1] in the Bibliography). Monitoring schemes are
used all over the world for a large number of purposes. Soil monitoring, particularly, is a long-term undertaking.
The quality and the utility of the information from the monitoring is to a large degree determined by the choice
of monitoring sites and by their maintenance over the years, and by appropriate quality control at all stages of
the process.
Monitoring associated with industrial (contaminated) sites can involve many specific considerations, including
legal requirements. The guidance in this International Standard is not designed or intended to cover such
situations.

3 Monitoring objectives
3.1 General
Monitoring is an important tool for the early detection of environmental impact on soil and soil processes. It
thus has a major role in the prevention or minimization of environmental damage or the detection of
environmental improvement. By the early detection of environmental impact, or the potential for such impact, a
monitoring programme could help to reduce or remove the costs of reaching or maintaining a given level of
environmental management, protection or quality.
Monitoring programmes can also be used to evaluate the outcome of environmental policies, to assist in the
development of strategies for soil protection and environment management. They can also serve as research
platforms for the development and validation of field and analytical methods and of models of soil and related
environmental processes.
The range of purposes for which soil-monitoring programmes can be designed encompasses such a vast
range of time scales, variables and processes that it is not possible to give specific guidance on the design of
a monitoring programme to meet all the objectives which might be covered by this diversity. The selection of
sites, sampling schemes, etc. should be made from a consideration of the specific objectives of the particular
monitoring programme. This International Standard identifies the principles underlying such programmes.
3.2 Examples of monitoring purposes
The following list gives some examples of monitoring purposes:
 short-, intermediate- and long-term environmental impacts varying in magnitude, importance, duration
and probability;
 changes in chemical, biological and physical soil properties (e.g. pH, adsorption processes, toxic element
accumulation, radiation, compaction, erosion) and the dynamics of changes in such properties;
 effects of human impacts;
 differentiation of human impacts from inter-a

Avant-propos
L'ISO (Organisation internationale de normalisation) est une fédération mondiale d'organismes nationaux de
normalisation (comités membres de l'ISO). L'élaboration des Normes internationales est en général confiée
aux comités techniques de l'ISO. Chaque comité membre intéressé par une étude a le droit de faire partie du
comité technique créé à cet effet. Les organisations internationales, gouvernementales et non
gouvernementales, en liaison avec l'ISO participent également aux travaux. L'ISO collabore étroitement avec
la Commission électrotechnique internationale (CEI) en ce qui concerne la normalisation électrotechnique.
Les Normes internationales sont rédigées conformément aux règles données dans les Directives ISO/CEI,
Partie 2.
La tâche principale des comités techniques est d'élaborer les Normes internationales. Les projets de Normes
internationales adoptés par les comités techniques sont soumis aux comités membres pour vote. Leur
publication comme Normes internationales requiert l'approbation de 75 % au moins des comités membres
votants.
L'attention est appelée sur le fait que certains des éléments du présent document peuvent faire l'objet de

Introduction
La surveillance est le processus consistant à observer de façon répétée, pour répondre à des besoins définis,
un ou plusieurs composants environnementaux selon des planifications prédéfinies dans l'espace et dans le
temps, à l'aide de méthodes comparables de détection environnementale et de collecte des données (voir [1]
dans la Bibliographie). Des programmes de surveillance sont utilisés à travers le monde pour un grand
nombre d'applications. La surveillance du sol, notamment, est une action entreprise sur le long terme. La
qualité et l'utilité des informations recueillies par le biais de la surveillance dépendent, dans une large mesure,
du choix des sites de surveillance, de leur entretien au fil des ans et de l'existence d'un contrôle qualité
approprié à toutes les étapes du processus.
La surveillance des sites industriels (contaminés) peut donner lieu à de nombreuses considérations
spécifiques, notamment à des exigences légales. À cet égard, les lignes directrices du présent document ne
sont ni conçues pour de telles situations, ni destinées à y répondre.

émissions venant d'une ville ou d'une région, un dépôt de sédiments par débordement d'une rivière.
NOTE 2 Les apports dus à une source diffuse conduisent habituellement à des sites à contamination relativement
uniforme. Pour certains sites, les conditions peuvent être des facteurs d'augmentation de l'apport local, à proximité de la
source ou à l'endroit où les dépôts atmosphériques/pluviaux sont intensifiés.
[ISO 11074-1:1996]
2.5
lixivation
mouvement de substances dissoutes causé par la percolation de l'eau ou d'autres liquides dans le sol
[ISO 11074-1:1996]
2.6
site localement contaminé
site présentant ponctuellement ou en plusieurs endroits de hautes concentrations d'une substance
dangereuse pour le sol
NOTE L'étendue de la contamination est généralement faible et le gradient de concentration à l'intérieur du site est
élevé.
[ISO 11074-1:1996]
2.7
surveillance
processus d'observation répétitive, répondant à des besoins définis, portant sur un ou plusieurs éléments
environnementaux suivant une planification prédéfinie dans l'espace et dans le temps et à l'aide de méthodes
comparables de détection environnementale et de collecte des données
2.8
site de surveillance
zone dans laquelle les recherches sont effectuées
NOTE Les zones sélectionnées sont généralement relativement homogènes.
2.9
apport dû à une source ponctuelle
apport d'une substance par une source ponctuelle fixe de taille définie
NOTE 1 Les sources peuvent être un conduit d'émissions, des déversements accidentels, des dépôts d'ordures, des
déversements sur sites industriels, des fuites importantes provenant des égouts et autres canalisations.
NOTE 2 L'apport dû à une source ponctuelle peut aussi bien être la cause de sites localement contaminés que de sites
contaminés de façon relativement uniforme.
[ISO 11074-1:1996]
2.10
évaluation du risque
évaluation des effets préjudiciables d'un site pollué sur l'homme et l'environnement, en considérant leur
nature, leur étendue et leur probabilité
[ISO 11074-1:1996]
2.11
échantillon
quantité de matériau prélevée dans un volume plus important de matériau
[ISO 11074-2:1998]

2.12
échantillonnage
processus de prélèvement ou de constitution d'un échantillon
[ISO 3534-1:1993]
NOTE Pour les besoins de l'étude des sols, le terme «échantillonnage» s'applique également au choix des endroits
dans lesquels des essais in situ seront effectués sur le terrain sans enlèvement de matériau.
[ISO 11074-2:1998]
2.13
point d'échantillonnage
endroit d'un site de surveillance où est effectué le prélèvement physique des échantillons
2.14
procédure d'échantillonnage
exigences et/ou instructions opérationnelles concernant la mise en œuvre d'un plan d'échantillonnage
particulier
[ISO 11074-2:1998]
2.15
détérioration du sol
dégradation du sol
altération des propriétés du sol ayant des effets négatifs sur une ou plusieurs fonctions du sol, la santé
humaine ou l'environnement
[ISO 11074-1:1996]
2.16
apport de substance
migration vers un sol d'une substance venant d'un autre compartiment de l'environnement
[ISO 11074-1:1996]
2.17
exportation de substances
migration de substances du sol vers un autre compartiment de l'environnement
[ISO 11074-1:1996]
2.18
site uniformément contaminé
site présentant une concentration uniforme d'une substance dangereuse pour le sol
NOTE L'étendue de la contamination est généralement grande et le gradient de concentration à l'intérieur du site est
plutôt faible.
[ISO 11074-1:1996]
3 Objectifs de la surveillance
3.1 Généralités
La surveillance est un outil fondamental pour permettre la détection précoce de l'impact environnemental sur
les sols et leurs fonctions. Elle tient donc un rôle majeur dans la prévention ou la réduction des dégradations
de l'environnement, ou dans la détection de l'amélioration de ce dernier. En permettant la détection précoce
de l'impact environnemental ou des potentialités liées à un tel impact, un programme de surveillance peut
favoriser la réduction ou la suppression des coûts nécessaires à l'obtention ou au maintien d'un niveau donné
