Introduction
Sampling is the first step in carrying out chemical, physical and biological examinations. Therefore, the
goal of sampling should be to obtain a representative sample for the research question and to supply it
to the laboratory in the correct manner. Errors caused by improper sampling, sample pre-treatment,
transport and storage cannot be corrected.This part of ISO 5667 specifies quality assurance and quality control procedures and provides additional
guidance on sampling of the various types of water covered in the specific parts of ISO 5667.
Quality control procedures are necessary for the collection of environmental water samples for the
following reasons:a) to monitor the effectiveness of sampling methodology;
b) to demonstrate that the various stages of the sample collection process are adequately controlled
and suited to the intended purpose, including adequate control over sources of error such as
sample contamination, loss of determinand and sample instability. To achieve this, quality control
procedures should provide a means of detecting sampling error, and hence a means of rejecting
invalid or misleading data resulting from the sampling process;c) to quantify and control the sources of error which arise in sampling. Quantification gives a guide to
the significance that sampling plays in the overall accuracy of data; andd) to provide information on suitably abbreviated quality assurance procedures that might be used for
rapid sampling operations such as pollution incidents or groundwater investigations.
This part of ISO 5667 is one of a group of International Standards dealing with the sampling of waters.
It should be read in conjunction with the other parts of ISO 5667 and in particular with parts 1 and 3.
The general terminology is in accordance with that published.vi © ISO 2014 – All rights reserved

Part 14:
Guidance on quality assurance and quality control of
environmental water sampling and handling
WARNING — Consider and minimize any risks and obey safety rules. See ISO 5667-1 for certain
safety precautions, including sampling from boats and from ice-covered waters.1 Scope
This part of ISO 5667 provides guidance on the selection and use of various quality assurance and quality
control techniques relating to the manual sampling of surface, potable, waste, marine and ground waters.
NOTE The general principles outlined in this part of ISO 5667 might, in some circumstances, be applicable to
sludge and sediment sampling.2 Normative references
The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are
indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated
references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.
ISO 5667-1:2006, Water quality — Sampling — Part 1: Guidance on the design of sampling programmes and
sampling techniquesISO 5667-3:2012, Water quality — Sampling — Part 3: Preservation and handling of water samples
3 Terms and definitionsFor the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
accuracy
closeness of agreement between a test result or measurement result and the true value
Note 1 to entry: In practice, the accepted reference value is substituted for the true value.
Note 2 to entry: The term accuracy, when applied to a set of test or measurement results, involves a combination
of random components and a common systematic error or bias component.Note 3 to entry: Accuracy refers to a combination of trueness and precision.
[SOURCE: ISO 3534-2:2006, 3.3.1]
3.2
bias
difference between the expectation of the test results or measurement result and a true value
Note 1 to entry: Bias is the total systematic error as contrasted to random error. There may be one or more
systematic error components contributing to the bias. A larger systematic difference from the true value is
reflected by a larger bias value.© ISO 2014 – All rights reserved 1
---------------------- Page: 7 ----------------------
ISO 5667-14:2014(E)
Note 2 to entry: The bias of a measuring instrument is normally estimated by averaging the error of indication
over an appropriate number of repeated measurements. The error of indication is the: “indication of a measuring
instrument minus a true value of the corresponding input quantity”.Note 3 to entry: In practice, the accepted reference value is substituted for the true value.
[SOURCE: ISO 3534-2:2006, 3.3.2]3.3
precision
closeness of agreement between independent test/measurement results obtained under stipulated
conditionsNote 1 to entry: Precision depends only on the distribution of random errors and does not relate to the true value
or the specified value.Note 2 to entry: The measure of precision is usually expressed in terms of imprecision and computed as a standard
deviation of the test results or measurement results. Less precision is reflected by a larger standard deviation.
Note 3 to entry: Quantitative measures of precision depend critically on the stipulated conditions. Repeatability
conditions and reproducibility conditions are particular sets of extreme stipulated conditions.
[SOURCE: ISO 3534-2:2006, 3.3.4]3.4
representativeness
extent to which the condition of all the samples taken from the body of water reflects conditions in
water of interest3.5
blank
observed value obtained when measurement is made on a sample identical to the sample of interest, but
in the absence of the determinandNote 1 to entry: Deionised water; distilled water can be used as blank samples which are prepared in the laboratory
prior to sampling.3.6
field blank
container prepared in the laboratory, using reagent water or other blank matrix, and sent with the sampling
personnel for exposure to the sampling environment to verify possible contamination during sampling
[SOURCE: ISO 11074:2005, 4.5.3]3.7
spike
known quantity of determinand which is added to a sample, usually for the purpose of estimating the
systematic error of an analytical system by means of a recovery exercise3.8
recovery
extent to which a known, added quantity of determinand in a sample can be measured by an
analytical systemNote 1 to entry: Recovery is calculated from the difference between results obtained from a spiked (3.7) and an
unspiked aliquot of sample and is usually expressed as a percentage.3.9
control chart
chart on which some statistical measure of a series of samples is plotted in a particular order to steer
the process with respect to that measure and to control and reduce variationNote 1 to entry: The particular order is usually based on time or sample number order.
2 © ISO 2014 – All rights reserved---------------------- Page: 8 ----------------------
ISO 5667-14:2014(E)
Note 2 to entry: The control chart operates most effectively when the measure is a process variable which is
correlated with an ultimate product or service characteristic.[SOURCE: ISO 3534-2:2006, 2.3.1]
3.10
Shewhart control chart
control chart with Shewhart control limits intended primarily to distinguish between the variation in
the plotted measure due to random causes and that due to special causesNote 1 to entry: This could be a chart using attributes (for example, proportion nonconforming) for evaluating a
process, or it could be a chart using variables (for example, average and range) for evaluating a process. Examples are:
a) X-bar chart — the sample means are plotted in order to control the mean value of a variable;
b) R chart — the sample ranges are plotted in order to control the variability of a variable;
c) s chart — the sample standard deviations are plotted in order to control the variability of a variable;
d) s chart — the sample variances are plotted in order to control the variability of a variable;
e) C chart — the number of defectives (per batch, per day, per machine, etc.) is plotted.
[SOURCE: ISO 3534-2:2006, 2.3.2, modified — Note 1 to entry has been added.]3.11
action limits
control limits between which the statistic under consideration lies with a very high probability when
the process is under statistical controlNote 1 to entry: Action lines are drawn on a control chart to represent action limits.
Note 2 to entry: When the measure plotted lies beyond an action limit, appropriate corrective action is taken
on the process.Note 3 to entry: These limits are based on the assumption that only 0,3 % of normally distributed results will fall
outside these limits. Such an occurrence would strongly indicate that additional, assignable causes of variation
might be present and that action might be required to identify and reduce them.[SOURCE: ISO 3534-2:2006, 2.4.4, modified — Note 3 to entry has been added.]
3.12
warning limits
control limits between which the statistic under consideration lies with a high probability when the
process is under statistical controlNote 1 to entry: Warning lines are drawn on a control chart to represent warning limits.
Note 2 to entry: When the value of the statistic plotted lies outside a warning limit, but within the action limit
(3.11), increased supervision of the process, to pre-specified rules, is generally required.
Note 3 to entry: The limits are calculated from the standard deviation of the statistic under consideration of at
least 10 samples. Warning and action control limits are applied to individual sampling results.
[SOURCE: ISO 3534-2:2006, 2.4.3, modified — Note 3 to entry has been added.]3.13
uncertainty
measurement uncertainty
non-negative parameter characterizing the dispersion of the quantity values being attributed to a
measurand based on the information used[SOURCE: ISO/IEC Guide 99:2007, 2.26, modified — The notes to entry are not included here.]
© ISO 2014 – All rights reserved 3---------------------- Page: 9 ----------------------
ISO 5667-14:2014(E)
3.14
true value
value which characterizes a quantity or quantitative characteristic perfectly defined in the conditions
which exist when that quantity or quantitative characteristic is consideredNote 1 to entry: The true value of a quantity or quantitative characteristic is a theoretical concept and, in general,
cannot be known exactly.[SOURCE: ISO 3534-2:2006, 3.2.5, modified — Note 2 to entry is not included here.]
3.15accepted reference value
value that serves as an agreed-upon reference for comparison
Note 1 to entry: The accepted reference value is derived as:
a) a theoretical or established value, based on scientific principles;
b) an assigned or certified value, based on experimental work of some national or international organization;
c) a consensus or certified value, based on collaborative experimental work under the auspices of a scientific or
technical group;d) the expectation, i.e. the mean of a specified set of measurements, when a), b) and c) are not available.
[SOURCE: ISO 3534-2:2006, 3.2.7]4 Sources of sampling error
Sources of sampling errors include the following:
a) Contamination
Contamination can be caused by sampling equipment materials (sampling containers and sample
containers) by cross-contamination between samples and by sample preservation and inappropriate
storage and transport arrangements.b) Sample instability
The type of sampling vessels and containers used can affect the stability of the determinand between
sampling and analysis due to the inherent instability of the sample itself and the conditions in which
samples are stored and transported.c) Incorrect preservation
The choice of sampling vessels and containers affects the integrity of the determinand and the
options for preservation which may be available, as detailed in ISO 5667-3.d) Incorrect sampling
Deviation from the sampling procedure, or the procedure itself, might be a source of error.
e) Sampling from non-homogenized water bodiesf) Sample transportation
Figure 1 illustrates various sources of sampling error: environment, personnel, materials, methods,
preservation and transportation. Further examples of common sources of sampling error are given in

5 Sampling quality
5.1 General
A programme to establish sampling quality should be established for every series of sampling, so as to
ensure that data resulting from sampling programmes are both trustworthy and scientifically credible.
Mistakes in any step of the sampling procedure can result in substantial errors within the resulting data.
Laboratories that analyse collected samples usually have rigorous programmes of quality assurance and
quality control (QA/QC) as required by national regulation and conforming to ISO/IEC 17025. However,
such laboratory programmes of QA/QC cannot substitute for the rigorous sampling quality programmes
required for the collection and handling of samples prior to delivery to laboratories for analysis.
Sampling quality programmes comprise all the steps taken to ensure that valid results are produced.
Sampling quality programmes include documented evidence that the individuals who collect samples
are competent and well trained, that appropriate sample collection and sample handling methods were
employed, that equipment were maintained and calibrated, that correct practices were followed and
that records are both complete and secure. It is important to establish a quality assurance programme
and quality control effective for the characterization and reduction of errors. Depending on the objective
(e.g. to check for any contamination of the sample at different points in the sampling procedure, and
identify potential problems), the quality control set up will be different. See Table 1.
Table 1 — Means of quality control for different objectivesObjective Means to implement
Check the absence of contamination Blank environmental, Field blank, Transport blank, Equipment
blank, Filter blankCalculate the sampling precision Duplicate sample
Check the stability of the sample Spiking
Particular importance should be given to careful measurement of analyses performed on-site and
to correct recording of determinand results. Reference should be made to ISO/TS 13530 regarding
© ISO 2014 – All rights reserved 5---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------
ISO 5667-14:2014(E)
analytical quality control for water analysis and to ISO 15839 regarding online sensors/analysing
equipment for water.Since analysing laboratories have expertise regarding QA/QC, it is suggested they be actively involved
in the design and evaluation of sampling quality programmes.5.2 Technical and personnel requirements
To take a sample correctly, adequate and cleaned equipment [such as sample containers, sampling devices,
filtration equipment, a homogenizer, an intermediate container (funnel, spoon), and measurement
equipment for on-site analysis] should be held in sufficient numbers. Regular maintenance of all
equipment should be guaranteed.The sampling vehicle and the facility should be equipped in accordance with the requirements for
sampling (laboratory vehicle).The sampling personnel should have relevant professional training, e.g. completed vocational education
as a chemical laboratory assistant or specialist for waste water engineering. An essential prerequisite
is appropriate initial job-training and regular training of sampling personnel. Participation in internal
and/or external training should be documented (see 5.4).A regular exchange of information between client, sampling personnel and laboratory personnel
improves the quality of sampling and testing. All the necessary information for a sampling of ensured
[7]quality should be placed at the sampling personnel’s disposal.
5.3 Sampling manual
5.3.1 For sampling, the general requirements related to the competence of testing and calibration
laboratories should be applied.[7]
Procedures or operating instructions should be prepared and should include the following issues:
a) sampling (matrix-based);b) on-site measurement;
c) pre-treatment of samples;
d) preservation of samples (parameter-based);
e) sample transport, storage and sample delivery/reception.
Each person responsible for collecting water samples should carry an up-to-date sampling manual on-
site. This manual should provide specific guidance regarding the sampling methods to be employed,
sample handling and preservation, analytical methods for measurements to be performed at the
sampling site, procedures to be followed when transporting samples to the laboratory and method
details pertaining to any online continuous sensor type equipment to be utilized. It is suggested that
the sampling manual should additionally detail all quality assurance procedures to be employed when
collecting samples, when taking on-site measurements, when transporting samples to laboratory and
when using or checking continuous monitoring equipment.5.3.2 The sampling manual should specify:
a) the types of bottles or containers, their closures and the specific purposes for which they are to be used;
b) where relevant, the cleaning procedure and shelf life for bottles, containers and closures used for
each parameter, including the amount and type of preservative to be added (e.g. first draw, flushed,
stagnation) and the procedure for coll...

Introduction
Sampling is the first step in carrying out chemical, physical and biological examinations. Therefore, the
goal of sampling should be to obtain a representative sample for the research question and to supply it
to the laboratory in the correct manner. Errors caused by improper sampling, sample pre-treatment,
transport and storage cannot be corrected.This part of ISO 5667 specifies quality assurance and quality control procedures and provides additional
guidance on sampling of the various types of water covered in the specific parts of ISO 5667.
Quality control procedures are necessary for the collection of environmental water samples for the
following reasons:a) to monitor the effectiveness of sampling methodology;
b) to demonstrate that the various stages of the sample collection process are adequately controlled
and suited to the intended purpose, including adequate control over sources of error such as
sample contamination, loss of determinand and sample instability. To achieve this, quality control
procedures should provide a means of detecting sampling error, and hence a means of rejecting
invalid or misleading data resulting from the sampling process;c) to quantify and control the sources of error which arise in sampling. Quantification gives a guide to
the significance that sampling plays in the overall accuracy of data; andd) to provide information on suitably abbreviated quality assurance procedures that might be used for
rapid sampling operations such as pollution incidents or groundwater investigations.
This part of ISO 5667 is one of a group of International Standards dealing with the sampling of waters.
It should be read in conjunction with the other parts of ISO 5667 and in particular with parts 1 and 3.
The general terminology is in accordance with that published.vi © ISO 2014 – All rights reserved

environmental water sampling and handling
WARNING — Consider and minimize any risks and obey safety rules. See ISO 5667-1 for certain
safety precautions, including sampling from boats and from ice-covered waters.1 Scope
This part of ISO 5667 provides guidance on the selection and use of various quality assurance and quality
control techniques relating to the manual sampling of surface, potable, waste, marine and ground waters.
NOTE The general principles outlined in this part of ISO 5667 might, in some circumstances, be applicable to
sludge and sediment sampling.2 Normative references
The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are
indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated
references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

3 Terms and definitionsFor the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
accuracy
closeness of agreement between a test result or measurement result and the true value
Note 1 to entry: In practice, the accepted reference value is substituted for the true value.
Note 2 to entry: The term accuracy, when applied to a set of test or measurement results, involves a combination
of random components and a common systematic error or bias component.Note 3 to entry: Accuracy refers to a combination of trueness and precision.
[SOURCE: ISO 3534-2:2006, 3.3.1]
3.2
bias
difference between the expectation of the test results or measurement result and a true value
Note 1 to entry: Bias is the total systematic error as contrasted to random error. There may be one or more
systematic error components contributing to the bias. A larger systematic difference from the true value is
reflected by a larger bias value.© ISO 2014 – All rights reserved 1
---------------------- Page: 9 ----------------------
SIST ISO 5667-14:2015
ISO 5667-14:2014(E)
Note 2 to entry: The bias of a measuring instrument is normally estimated by averaging the error of indication
over an appropriate number of repeated measurements. The error of indication is the: “indication of a measuring
instrument minus a true value of the corresponding input quantity”.Note 3 to entry: In practice, the accepted reference value is substituted for the true value.
[SOURCE: ISO 3534-2:2006, 3.3.2]3.3
precision
closeness of agreement between independent test/measurement results obtained under stipulated
conditionsNote 1 to entry: Precision depends only on the distribution of random errors and does not relate to the true value
or the specified value.Note 2 to entry: The measure of precision is usually expressed in terms of imprecision and computed as a standard
deviation of the test results or measurement results. Less precision is reflected by a larger standard deviation.
Note 3 to entry: Quantitative measures of precision depend critically on the stipulated conditions. Repeatability
conditions and reproducibility conditions are particular sets of extreme stipulated conditions.
[SOURCE: ISO 3534-2:2006, 3.3.4]3.4
representativeness
extent to which the condition of all the samples taken from the body of water reflects conditions in
water of interest3.5
blank
observed value obtained when measurement is made on a sample identical to the sample of interest, but
in the absence of the determinandNote 1 to entry: Deionised water; distilled water can be used as blank samples which are prepared in the laboratory
prior to sampling.3.6
field blank
container prepared in the laboratory, using reagent water or other blank matrix, and sent with the sampling
personnel for exposure to the sampling environment to verify possible contamination during sampling
[SOURCE: ISO 11074:2005, 4.5.3]3.7
spike
known quantity of determinand which is added to a sample, usually for the purpose of estimating the
systematic error of an analytical system by means of a recovery exercise3.8
recovery
extent to which a known, added quantity of determinand in a sample can be measured by an
analytical systemNote 1 to entry: Recovery is calculated from the difference between results obtained from a spiked (3.7) and an
unspiked aliquot of sample and is usually expressed as a percentage.3.9
control chart
chart on which some statistical measure of a series of samples is plotted in a particular order to steer
the process with respect to that measure and to control and reduce variationNote 1 to entry: The particular order is usually based on time or sample number order.

SIST ISO 5667-14:2015
ISO 5667-14:2014(E)
Note 2 to entry: The control chart operates most effectively when the measure is a process variable which is
correlated with an ultimate product or service characteristic.[SOURCE: ISO 3534-2:2006, 2.3.1]
3.10
Shewhart control chart
control chart with Shewhart control limits intended primarily to distinguish between the variation in
the plotted measure due to random causes and that due to special causesNote 1 to entry: This could be a chart using attributes (for example, proportion nonconforming) for evaluating a
process, or it could be a chart using variables (for example, average and range) for evaluating a process. Examples are:
a) X-bar chart — the sample means are plotted in order to control the mean value of a variable;
b) R chart — the sample ranges are plotted in order to control the variability of a variable;
c) s chart — the sample standard deviations are plotted in order to control the variability of a variable;
d) s chart — the sample variances are plotted in order to control the variability of a variable;
e) C chart — the number of defectives (per batch, per day, per machine, etc.) is plotted.
[SOURCE: ISO 3534-2:2006, 2.3.2, modified — Note 1 to entry has been added.]3.11
action limits
control limits between which the statistic under consideration lies with a very high probability when
the process is under statistical controlNote 1 to entry: Action lines are drawn on a control chart to represent action limits.
Note 2 to entry: When the measure plotted lies beyond an action limit, appropriate corrective action is taken
on the process.Note 3 to entry: These limits are based on the assumption that only 0,3 % of normally distributed results will fall
outside these limits. Such an occurrence would strongly indicate that additional, assignable causes of variation
might be present and that action might be required to identify and reduce them.[SOURCE: ISO 3534-2:2006, 2.4.4, modified — Note 3 to entry has been added.]
3.12
warning limits
control limits between which the statistic under consideration lies with a high probability when the
process is under statistical controlNote 1 to entry: Warning lines are drawn on a control chart to represent warning limits.
Note 2 to entry: When the value of the statistic plotted lies outside a warning limit, but within the action limit
(3.11), increased supervision of the process, to pre-specified rules, is generally required.
Note 3 to entry: The limits are calculated from the standard deviation of the statistic under consideration of at
least 10 samples. Warning and action control limits are applied to individual sampling results.
[SOURCE: ISO 3534-2:2006, 2.4.3, modified — Note 3 to entry has been added.]3.13
uncertainty
measurement uncertainty
non-negative parameter characterizing the dispersion of the quantity values being attributed to a
measurand based on the information used[SOURCE: ISO/IEC Guide 99:2007, 2.26, modified — The notes to entry are not included here.]

3.14
true value
value which characterizes a quantity or quantitative characteristic perfectly defined in the conditions
which exist when that quantity or quantitative characteristic is consideredNote 1 to entry: The true value of a quantity or quantitative characteristic is a theoretical concept and, in general,
cannot be known exactly.[SOURCE: ISO 3534-2:2006, 3.2.5, modified — Note 2 to entry is not included here.]
3.15accepted reference value
value that serves as an agreed-upon reference for comparison
Note 1 to entry: The accepted reference value is derived as:
a) a theoretical or established value, based on scientific principles;
b) an assigned or certified value, based on experimental work of some national or international organization;
c) a consensus or certified value, based on collaborative experimental work under the auspices of a scientific or
technical group;d) the expectation, i.e. the mean of a specified set of measurements, when a), b) and c) are not available.
[SOURCE: ISO 3534-2:2006, 3.2.7]4 Sources of sampling error
Sources of sampling errors include the following:
a) Contamination
Contamination can be caused by sampling equipment materials (sampling containers and sample
containers) by cross-contamination between samples and by sample preservation and inappropriate
storage and transport arrangements.b) Sample instability
The type of sampling vessels and containers used can affect the stability of the determinand between
sampling and analysis due to the inherent instability of the sample itself and the conditions in which
samples are stored and transported.c) Incorrect preservation
The choice of sampling vessels and containers affects the integrity of the determinand and the
options for preservation which may be available, as detailed in ISO 5667-3.d) Incorrect sampling
Deviation from the sampling procedure, or the procedure itself, might be a source of error.
e) Sampling from non-homogenized water bodiesf) Sample transportation
Figure 1 illustrates various sources of sampling error: environment, personnel, materials, methods,
preservation and transportation. Further examples of common sources of sampling error are given in

5 Sampling quality
5.1 General
A programme to establish sampling quality should be established for every series of sampling, so as to
ensure that data resulting from sampling programmes are both trustworthy and scientifically credible.
Mistakes in any step of the sampling procedure can result in substantial errors within the resulting data.
Laboratories that analyse collected samples usually have rigorous programmes of quality assurance and
quality control (QA/QC) as required by national regulation and conforming to ISO/IEC 17025. However,
such laboratory programmes of QA/QC cannot substitute for the rigorous sampling quality programmes
required for the collection and handling of samples prior to delivery to laboratories for analysis.
Sampling quality programmes comprise all the steps taken to ensure that valid results are produced.
Sampling quality programmes include documented evidence that the individuals who collect samples
are competent and well trained, that appropriate sample collection and sample handling methods were
employed, that equipment were maintained and calibrated, that correct practices were followed and
that records are both complete and secure. It is important to establish a quality assurance programme
and quality control effective for the characterization and reduction of errors. Depending on the objective
(e.g. to check for any contamination of the sample at different points in the sampling procedure, and
identify potential problems), the quality control set up will be different. See Table 1.
Table 1 — Means of quality control for different objectivesObjective Means to implement
Check the absence of contamination Blank environmental, Field blank, Transport blank, Equipment
blank, Filter blankCalculate the sampling precision Duplicate sample
Check the stability of the sample Spiking
Particular importance should be given to careful measurement of analyses performed on-site and
to correct recording of determinand results. Reference should be made to ISO/TS 13530 regarding

SIST ISO 5667-14:2015
ISO 5667-14:2014(E)
analytical quality control for water analysis and to ISO 15839 regarding online sensors/analysing
equipment for water.Since analysing laboratories have expertise regarding QA/QC, it is suggested they be actively involved
in the design and evaluation of sampling quality programmes.5.2 Technical and personnel requirements
To take a sample correctly, adequate and cleaned equipment [such as sample containers, sampling devices,
filtration equipment, a homogenizer, an intermediate container (funnel, spoon), and measurement
equipment for on-site analysis] should be held in sufficient numbers. Regular maintenance of all
equipment should be guaranteed.The sampling vehicle and the facility should be equipped in accordance with the requirements for
sampling (laboratory vehicle).The sampling personnel should have relevant professional training, e.g. completed vocational education
as a chemical laboratory assistant or specialist for waste water engineering. An essential prerequisite
is appropriate initial job-training and regular training of sampling personnel. Participation in internal
and/or external training should be documented (see 5.4).A regular exchange of information between client, sampling personnel and laboratory personnel
improves the quality of sampling and testing. All the necessary information for a sampling of ensured
[7]quality should be placed at the sampling personnel’s disposal.
5.3 Sampling manual
5.3.1 For sampling, the general requirements related to the competence of testing and calibration
laboratories should be applied.[7]
Procedures or operating instructions should be prepared and should include the following issues:
a) sampling (matrix-based);b) on-site measurement;
c) pre-treatment

Introduction
L’échantillonnage est la première étape en vue de la réalisation d’examens chimiques, physiques et
biologiques. Par conséquent, il convient que l’échantillon prélevé soit représentatif de l’objectif visé et
soit expédié au laboratoire de manière adaptée. Les erreurs dues à un prélèvement, un prétraitement,
un transport et un stockage incorrects des échantillons ne peuvent pas être corrigées.
La présente partie de l’ISO 5667 spécifie les modes opératoires d’assurance qualité et de contrôle
qualité et fournit des lignes directrices supplémentaires pour l’échantillonnage des différents types
d’eaux couverts dans les parties spécifiques de l’ISO 5667.Les modes opératoires de contrôle qualité sont requis pour le prélèvement des échantillons d’eau
environnementale afin de :a) contrôler l’efficacité de la méthodologie d’échantillonnage ;
b) démontrer que les différentes étapes du procédé de prélèvement d’échantillons sont correctement
contrôlées et adaptées à l’usage prévu, y compris le contrôle adéquat des sources d’erreur telles que
la contamination des échantillons, la perte de l’élément à doser et l’instabilité des échantillons. À
cet effet, il est recommandé que les modes opératoires de contrôle qualité permettent de détecter
les erreurs d’échantillonnage, et ainsi de rejeter les données non valides ou erronées résultant du
procédé d’échantillonnage ;c) quantifier et contrôler les sources d’erreurs qui apparaissent lors de l’échantillonnage. La
quantification donne des indications sur l’importance que l’échantillonnage joue dans l’exactitude
globale des données ; etd) fournir des informations sur les modes opératoires accélérés d’assurance qualité susceptibles
d’être utilisés pour les opérations d’échantillonnage rapides telles que les incidents de pollution ou
les analyses d’eaux souterraines.La présente partie de l’ISO 5667 fait partie d’un groupe de Normes internationales relatives à
l’échantillonnage des eaux. Il convient de la lire conjointement avec les autres parties de l’ISO 5667, en
particulier avec les parties 1 et 3.La terminologie générale est conforme à celle publiée.

Partie 14:
Lignes directrices sur l’assurance qualité et le contrôle
qualité pour l’échantillonnage et la manutention des eaux
environnementales
AVERTISSEMENT — Tous les risques doivent être pris en compte et réduits le plus possible, et
les règles de sécurité doivent être appliquées. Se reporter à l’ISO 5667-1 pour les précautions de
sécurité spécifiques, y compris l’échantillonnage effectué à partir de bateaux et l’échantillonnage
d’eaux couvertes de glace.1 Domaine d’application
La présente partie de l’ISO 5667 fournit des lignes directrices sur le choix et l’utilisation de différentes
techniques d’assurance qualité et de contrôle qualité liées à l’échantillonnage manuel des eaux de
surface, potables, résiduaires, marines et souterraines.NOTE Dans certains cas, les principes généraux exposés dans la présente partie de l’ISO 5667 peuvent
s’appliquer à l’échantillonnage de boues et de sédiments.2 Références normatives
Les documents ci-après, dans leur intégralité ou non, sont des références normatives indispensables à
l’application du présent document. Pour les références datées, seule l’édition citée s’applique. Pour les
références non datées, la dernière édition du document de référence s’applique (y compris les éventuels
amendements).ISO 5667-1:2006, Qualité de l’eau — Échantillonnage — Partie 1: Lignes directrices pour la conception des
programmes et des techniques d’échantillonnageISO 5667-3:2012, Qualité de l’eau — Échantillonnage — Partie 3: Conservation et manipulation des
échantillons d’eau3 Termes et définitions
Pour les besoins du présent document, les termes et définitions suivants s’appliquent.
3.1exactitude
étroitesse de l’accord entre le résultat d’essai ou résultat de mesure et la valeur vraie
Note 1 à l’article: Dans la pratique, la valeur de référence acceptée remplace la valeur vraie.
Note 2 à l’article: Le terme « exactitude », appliqué à un ensemble de résultats d’essai ou de mesure, implique une
combinaison de composantes aléatoires et d’une erreur systématique commune ou d’une composante de biais.
Note 3 à l’article: L’exactitude fait référence à une combinaison de justesse et de fidélité.

ISO 5667-14:2014(F)
3.2
biais
différence entre l’espérance mathématique d’un résultat d’essai ou résultat de mesure et une valeur vraie
Note 1 à l’article: Le biais est une erreur systématique totale par opposition à l’erreur aléatoire. Il peut y avoir
une ou plusieurs composantes d’erreurs systématiques qui contribuent au biais. Une différence systématique
importante par rapport à la valeur vraie est reflétée par une grande valeur du biais.
Note 2 à l’article: Le biais (erreur de justesse) d’un instrument de mesure est normalement estimé en prenant
la moyenne de l’erreur d’indication sur un nombre approprié d’observations répétées. L’erreur d’indication est
«l’indication d’un instrument de mesure moins une valeur vraie de la grandeur d’entrée correspondante».
Note 3 à l’article: Dans la pratique, la valeur de référence acceptée remplace la valeur vraie.
[SOURCE: ISO 3534-2:2006, 3.3.2]3.3
fidélité
étroitesse d’accord entre des résultats d’essai/de mesure indépendants obtenus sous des conditions
stipuléesNote 1 à l’article: La fidélité dépend uniquement de la distribution des erreurs aléatoires et n’a aucune relation
avec la valeur vraie ou la valeur spécifiée.Note 2 à l’article: La mesure de la fidélité est généralement exprimée en termes d’infidélité et est calculée à
partir de l’écart-type des résultats d’essai ou des résultats de mesure. Une fidélité faible est reflétée par un grand
écart-type.Note 3 à l’article: Les mesures quantitatives de la fidélité dépendent de façon critique des conditions stipulées.
Les conditions de répétabilité et de reproductibilité sont des ensembles particuliers de conditions extrêmes
stipulées.[SOURCE: ISO 3534-2:2006, 3.3.4]
3.4
représentativité
situation dans laquelle l’état de tous les échantillons prélevés dans la masse d’eau reflète celui de l’eau
analysée3.5
blanc
valeur observée lorsque le mesurage est réalisé sur un échantillon identique à l’échantillon étudié, mais
en l’absence de l’élément à doserNote 1 à l’article: L’eau désionisée ou distillée peut être utilisée pour les échantillons à blanc qui sont préparés au
laboratoire avant l’échantillonnage.3.6
blanc de terrain
récipient préparé dans le laboratoire, utilisant comme réactif de l’eau ou toute autre matrice de
blanc, et destiné à être emporté par le personnel d’échantillonnage sur le terrain, pour être exposé à
l’environnement dans lequel l’échantillonnage est effectué afin de vérifier l’absence de contamination
au cours de l’échantillonnage[SOURCE: ISO 11074:2005, 4.5.3]
3.7
échantillon dopé
quantité connue d’élément à doser ajoutée à un échantillon, en général pour les besoins de l’estimation
de l’erreur systématique d’un système analytique au moyen d’une récupération2 © ISO 2014 – Tous droits réservés

ISO 5667-14:2014(F)
3.8
récupération
opération au moyen de laquelle un système analytique peut mesurer une quantité ajoutée, connue, d’un
élément à doser dans un échantillonNote 1 à l’article: La récupération est calculée à partir la différence entre les résultats obtenus à partir d’un
échantillon dopé (3.7) et une aliquote non dopée de l’échantillon, généralement exprimée en pourcentage.
3.9carte de contrôle
graphique sur lequel sont reportées les valeurs d’une mesure statistique faite sur une série
d‘échantillons dans un ordre particulier pour orienter le processus en fonction de cette mesure et pour
contrôler et réduire la variationNote 1 à l’article: L’ordre particulier est généralement fondé sur un ordre chronologique ou de numéro
d’échantillon.Note 2 à l’article: La carte de contrôle est plus efficace lorsque la mesure concerne une variable du processus
corrélée à un produit final ou à une caractéristique de service.[SOURCE: ISO 3534-2:2006, 2.3.1]
3.10
carte de contrôle de Shewhart
carte de contrôle avec des limites de contrôle de Shewart principalement utilisée pour différencier une
variation sur la mesure reportée due à des causes aléatoires et celle due à des causes spéciales
Note 1 à l’article: Cette carte pourrait utiliser des attributs (par exemple, une proportion de non-conformités) ou
des variables (par exemple, une moyenne et une étendue) pour évaluer un processus. Exemples :
a) carte X barre — les moyennes des échantillons sont reportées afin de contrôler la valeur moyenne d’une
variable ;b) carte R — les étendues des échantillons sont reportées afin de contrôler la variabilité d’une variable ;
c) carte s — les écarts-types des échantillons sont reportés afin de contrôler la variabilité d’une variable ;
d) carte s — les variances des échantillons sont reportées afin de contrôler la variabilité d’une variable ;
e) carte C — le nombre d’individus défectueux (par lot, par jour, par machine, etc.) est représenté.

limites d’action
limites de contrôle entre lesquelles la valeur statistique considérée se situe avec une probabilité très
élevée quand le processus est en état de maîtrise statistiqueNote 1 à l’article: Les lignes d’action sont tracées sur une carte de contrôle pour représenter les limites d’action.
Note 2 à l’article: Quand la mesure reportée est au-delà d’une limite d’action, une action corrective appropriée est
réalisée sur le processus.Note 3 à l’article: Ces limites sont fondées sur l’hypothèse que seul 0,3 % des résultats suivant une distribution
normale seront en dehors de ces limites. Une telle occurrence suggèrerait l’existence très probable de causes de
variation systématiques, supplémentaires, nécessitant une action visant à les identifier et les réduire.

limites de surveillance
limites de contrôle entre lesquelles la valeur statistique considérée se situe avec une probabilité élevée
quand le processus est en état de maîtrise statistiqueNote 1 à l’article: Les lignes de surveillance sont tracées sur une carte de contrôle pour représenter les limites de
surveillance.Note 2 à l’article: Quand la valeur statistique reportée est en dehors des limites de surveillance mais à l’intérieur
des limites d’action (3.11), une surveillance accrue du processus, conforme à des règles pré-spécifiées, est
généralement nécessaire.Note 3 à l’article: Les limites sont calculées à partir de l’écart-type de la valeur statistique considérée d’au
moins 10 échantillons. Les limites de surveillance et d’action sont appliquées aux résultats d’échantillonnage
individuels.[SOURCE: ISO 3534-2:2006, 2.4.3, modifiée — La Note 3 à l’article a été ajoutée]

informations utilisées[SOURCE: Guide ISO/IEC 99:2007, 2.26, modifiée — Les notes à l’article ne sont pas incluses ici]
3.14valeur vraie
valeur qui caractérise une grandeur ou une caractéristique quantitative parfaitement définie dans les
conditions qui existent lorsque cette grandeur ou caractéristique quantitative est considérée
Note 1 à l’article: La valeur vraie d’une grandeur ou d’une caractéristique quantitative est une notion théorique
et, en général, ne peut pas être connue exactement.[SOURCE: ISO 3534-2:2006, 3.2.5, modifiée — La Note 2 à l’article n’est pas incluse ici]
3.15valeur de référence acceptée
valeur qui sert de référence, selon un agrément pour une comparaison
Note 1 à l’article: La valeur de référence acceptée résulte :
a) d’une valeur théorique ou établie, fondée sur des principes scientifiques ;
b) d’une valeur assignée ou certifiée, fondée sur les travaux d’une organisation nationale ou internationale ;

4 Sources d’erreurs d’échantillonnage
Les erreurs d’échantillonnage peuvent provenir des sources suivantes :
a) contamination ;
La contamination peut être due aux matériaux constituant l’équipement d’échantillonnage (matériel
d’échantillonnage et flacons), à la contamination croisée entre échantillons, à la conservation des
échantillons et à des mesures de stockage et de transport inadaptées.b) instabilité des échantillons ;
Le type de flacons et de matériel d’échantillonnage utilisés peut affecter la stabilité de l’élément à
doser entre l’échantillonnage et l’analyse en raison de l’instabilité inhérente de l’échantillon ainsi
que de ses conditions de stockage et de transport.c) conservation incorrecte ;
Le choix des flacons et du matériel d’échantillonnage a un impact sur l’intégrité de l’élément à doser
ainsi que les conditions de conservation. Se référer à l’ISO 5667-3.d) échantillonnage incorrect ;
Tout écart par rapport au mode opératoire d’échantillonnage, ou le mode opératoire en lui-même,
peut être source d’erreurs.e) échantillonnage à partir de masses d’eau non homogénéisées ;
f) transport des échantillons.
La Figure 1 illustre différentes sources d’erreurs d’échantillonnage : environnement, personnel,
matériaux, méthodes, conservation et transport. L’Annexe A donne d’autres exemples de sources
d’erreurs courantes lors de l’échantillonnage.Figure 1 — Sources d’erreurs d’échantillonnage
