Water quality - General requirements and guidance for microbiological examinations by culture (ISO 8199:2018)
This document specifies requirements and gives guidance for performing the manipulations common
to each culture technique for the microbiological examination of water, particularly the preparation of
samples, culture media, and general apparatus and glassware, unless otherwise required in the specific
standard. It also describes the various techniques available for detection and enumeration by culture
and the criteria for determining which technique is appropriate.
This document is mainly intended for examinations for bacteria, yeasts and moulds, but some aspects
are also applicable to bacteriophages, viruses and parasites. It excludes techniques not based on
culturing microorganisms, such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods.
Wasserbeschaffenheit - Allgemeine Anforderungen und Anleitung für mikrobiologische Untersuchungen mittels Kulturverfahren (ISO 8199:2018)
Dieses Dokument legt Anforderungen fest und gibt Anleitungen für die Durchführung von Arbeitsschritten, die allen Kulturtechniken zur mikrobiologischen Wasseruntersuchung gemeinsam sind, insbesondere die Vorbereitung von Proben, Nährmedien und den üblichen Geräten und Glasgeräten, sofern in den spezifischen Normen nicht anders gefordert. Dieses Dokument beschreibt auch die unterschiedlichen Kulturverfahren zum Nachweis und zur Zählung sowie die Auswahlkriterien für das am besten geeignete Verfahren.
Dieses Dokument ist hauptsächlich für Untersuchungen auf Bakterien, Hefen und Pilze bestimmt, einige Aspekte sind jedoch auch auf Bakteriophagen, Viren und Parasiten anwendbar. Ausgenommen sind Verfahren, die nicht auf der Kultivierung von Mikroorganismen beruhen, z. B. Methoden der Polymerase-Kettenreaktion (PCR).
Qualité de l'eau - Exigences et lignes directrices générales pour les examens microbiologiques sur milieu de culture (ISO 8199:2018)
Le présent document établit les exigences et fournit les lignes directrices sur les manipulations communes à chaque technique de culture pour l'examen microbiologique de l'eau, en particulier la préparation des échantillons, les milieux de culture ainsi que l'appareillage général et la verrerie, sauf autre exigence dans la norme spécifique. Il décrit également les diverses techniques disponibles pour la détection et le dénombrement sur milieu de culture et les critères permettant de déterminer la technique appropriée.
Le présent document concerne principalement les examens portant sur les bactéries, les levures et les moisissures, mais certains aspects peuvent aussi s'appliquer aux bactériophages, aux virus et aux parasites. Sont exclues les techniques ne reposant pas sur la culture de micro-organismes, telles que les méthodes de réaction en chaîne par polymérase (PCR).
Kakovost vode - Splošne zahteve in navodilo za mikrobiološke preiskave v kulturi (ISO 8199:2018)
Ta dokument določa zahteve in podaja navodilo za izvajanje manipulacij, ki so skupne vsaki tehniki kulture, za mikrobiološko preiskavo vode, zlasti za pripravo vzorcev, gojišča kultur ter splošnih aparatov in steklovine, razen če je v posebnem standardu zahtevano drugače. Opisuje tudi različne tehnike, ki so na voljo za ugotavljanje prisotnosti in števila v kulturi, ter merila za določitev ustrezne tehnike.
Ta dokument je namenjen predvsem za preiskave bakterij, plesni in kvasovk, nekateri vidiki pa se uporabljajo tudi za bakteriofage, viruse in parazite. V tem dokumentu niso zajete tehnike, ki ne temeljijo na gojenju mikroorganizmov, kot je verižna reakcija s polimerazo (PCR).

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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/directives).
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. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO’s adherence to the

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 147, Water quality, Subcommittee SC 4,
Microbiological methods.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 8199:2005), which has been technically
revised. The main changes compared with the previous edition are as follows.
— Clauses have been added for terms and definitions, detection (qualitative) methods, performance
characteristics and analytical quality control (AQC).
— The clauses referencing culture media and diluent preparation and QC have been revised to align
with ISO 11133 and have been included in a new Annex D.
— The subclause on general guidance for the calculation of results for solid media techniques has
[9]
been updated to reflect the changes in ISO 7218:2007/Amd.1:2013 on which the relevant clauses
and subclauses in the second edition were based. Modifications have been made, however, to take
account of water microbiology techniques (e.g. membrane filtration) and to allow for dilutions other
than ten-fold dilutions.
— Annex B has been added to give guidance on confidence intervals when calculating special cases,
relating to the update of the subclause on general guidance for the calculation of results for solid
media techniques.
— Annex C has been added to describe calculations when using duplicate dishes per dilution, relating
to the update of the subclause on general guidance for the calculation of results for solid media
techniques.
— The subclause relating to enumeration using liquid media had been expanded and includes
additional guidance on the use of MPN calculators. The former Annex B containing MPN tables has
been removed.
— The title of this document has been amended to reflect these changes.

Introduction
Techniques for the detection and enumeration of microorganisms based on their ability to grow on or
in specified culture media are an important and widely used means of assessing the microbiological
quality of water. The purpose of this document is to gather in a single document the information
common to the various techniques. This reduces repetition of technical details in individual standards
and facilitates choice of the technique most suitable for a particular situation. Other guidance has been
included on general topics of relevance to these techniques, such as analytical quality control, method
performance characteristics and uncertainty of test results.

and the criteria for determining which technique is appropriate.
This document is mainly intended for examinations for bacteria, yeasts and moulds, but some aspects
are also applicable to bacteriophages, viruses and parasites. It excludes techniques not based on
culturing microorganisms, such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods.

4 Principle
The general principle of these techniques consists of inoculating a test portion of a water sample, or
resultant test sample following membrane filtration or centrifugation, on or into a culture medium
(solid or liquid). It is assumed that after incubation each target microorganism present multiplies,
giving either a colony visible directly on or in the solid medium or changes in the observable properties
of the liquid medium. The choice of a particular culture method depends not only on the nat
