Soil quality -- Pretreatment of samples for physico-chemical analysis
ISO 11464:2006 specifies the pretreatments required for soil samples that are to be subjected to physico-chemical analyses of stable and non-volatile parameters and describes the following five types of pretreatment of samples: drying, crushing, sieving, dividing and milling.
The pretreatment procedures described in ISO 11464:2006 are not applicable if they affect the results of the determinations to be made. ISO 11464:2006 is also not applicable to samples when volatile compounds are measured. In general, International Standards for analytical methods will state when it is necessary to adopt other procedures.
Qualité du sol -- Prétraitement des échantillons pour analyses physico-chimiques
L'ISO 11464:2006 spécifie les prétraitements nécessaires des échantillons de sol devant être soumis à des analyses physico-chimiques des paramètres stables et non-volatils et décrit les cinq types de prétraitement des échantillons suivants: séchage, broyage, tamisage, séparation et pulvérisation.
Les méthodes de prétraitement décrites dans l'ISO 11464:2006 ne doivent pas être utilisées si elles affectent les résultats des déterminations à réaliser. L'ISO 11464:2006 ne doit également pas être utilisée pour des échantillons dans lesquels on mesure des composés volatiles. En règle générale, les Normes internationales relatives aux méthodes analytiques précisent lorsqu'il est nécessaire d'adopter d'autres façons de procéder.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 11464:2006(E)
Soil quality — Pretreatment of samples for physico-chemical
analysis
1Scope
This International Standard specifies the pretreatments required for soil samples that are to be subjected to
physico-chemical analyses of stable and non-volatile parameters and describes the following five types of
pretreatment of samples: drying, crushing, sieving, dividing and milling.
The pretreatment procedures described in this International Standard are not applicable if they affect the results
of the determinations to be made. This International Standard is also not applicable to samples when volatile
compounds are measured. In general, International Standards for analytical methods will state when it is
necessary to adopt other procedures.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document
(including any amendments) applies.

3 Principle
◦
Soil samples are dried in air, or in an oven at temperature not exceeding 40 C, or freeze-dried (see 5.3). If
necessary, the soil sample is crushed while still damp and friable, and again after drying (see 5.4). The soil is
sieved and the fraction smaller than 2mm is divided into portions mechanically, or by hand, to enable
representative subsampling for analysis (see 5.5). If small subsamples (< 2g) are required for analysis, the
size of the particles of the fraction smaller than 2mm is further decreased (see 5.6). The necessary procedures
are given in the flow diagram in Figure 1.
◦
A drying temperature of 40 C in an oven is preferable to air drying at room temperature because the increased
speed of the drying limits changes due to microbial activity.
It should be noted that every type of pretreatment will have an influence on several soil properties.
The sieve aperture size of 2mm is generally used. However, before the pretreatment is started, it should be
checked if any of the analytical methods to be applied later require other sieve sizes.
NOTE Storing soil samples, including samples that are as received, air dried, refrigerated or stored in the absence of light,
for a long time may have an influence on a number of soil parameters, especially solubilities of both inorganic and organic
fractions. See Reference [1].
Special measures should usually be taken for samples from contaminated soils. It is important to avoid contact
with the skin and special provisions should be taken when drying such samples (air discharge, ventilation, etc.).

Samples may be hazardous because of the presence of chemical contaminants, fungal spores, or pathogens
such as leptospirosis, and appropriate safety precautions should be taken.
In this International Standard, it is generally assumed that at least 500 g of fresh soil is available.
Keeping an archive sample (see Figure 1) is optional and should be clearly stated in the overall description of
the investigation programme.
4 Apparatus
It is essential that the apparatus used does not add or remove any of the substances under investigation (e.g.
heavy metals). If the use of certain equipment and/or materials is not permitted in pretreatment of samples
required for a particular physico-chemical analysis, this shall be mentioned in the relevant International
Standards on analysis (see Note).

4.5 Mechanical mixer(s).
4.6 Mechanical sieve shaker, optional (see Note).
4.7 Subsampler or sample divider (see Note).
4.8 Mesh sieve, complying with ISO 565, with apertures of 250µm or of the size specified in the relevant test
method.
4.9 Analytical balance, readable and accurate to 0,1 g.
4.10 Balance, readable and accurate to 1g.
NOTE The apparatus to be used is not specified in detail, although drawings of some suitable items of equipment are
provided in Figures A.1 to A.4. Most comparable national standards contain detailed equipment specifications and these
may be used, provided they meet the basic performance requirements indicated in this International Standard.
5 Procedure
5.1 General
The procedures for drying, fraction separation and size reduction are set out in 5.3 and 5.4. At several stages in
the procedure, the analyst will be required to make decisions, referring in particular to whether size fractions are
to be combined or treated separately: this will depend on the nature of the soil and the objectives of the
analytical programme.
The sample shall be rehomogenized after any separation, sieving, crushing or milling operation (that may have
resulted in segregation of different sized particles) has been carried out.
WARNING — Take special precautions with samples from potentially hazardous soil. Avoid any contact
with the skin and make special provisions concerning drying (air discharge, ventilation, etc.).
Care should be taken to avoid contamination of the sample via the air or by dust (e.g. from the ambient
laboratory atmosphere or between samples stored or processed close to one another).
©
ISO 2006 – All rights reserved 3
It is recommended that pretreatment of soil material always be performed in a room used only for this purpose
and remote from locations where analytical measurements are made.
NOTE If the sample has a dust-like consistency, part of it may be lost, and this may alter its physico-chemical properties.
5.2 Sample description
Examine the sample as received and record the description including details of extraneous matter, remains of
vegetation, and other noticeable or relevant features.
5.3 Drying
5.3.1 General
Dry the complete sample in air or in a ventilated drying oven from which the moist air is removed or in a freeze
dryer. Depending on the chosen method of drying, follow the procedure set out in 5.3.2, 5.3.3 or 5.3.4. Dry until
the loss in mass of the soil sample is not larger than 5% (mass fraction) per 24 h. After the drying process has
been completed, determine and record the total mass of the dried sample.
To accelerate the drying process, break down the size of larger aggregates (larger than 15 mm) during the
process. When samples are dried in air, crush them lightly by hand using a wooden hammer or a mortar and
pestle, taking great care to avoid contamination. When samples are dried in an oven, remove them temporarily
from the oven and treat them in the same way. This procedure also makes it easier to separate the particles
larger than 2mm.
Freeze-drying has the advantage that the sample to be dried rarely dries into clods; it usually breaks up into
parts.
The drying time depends on the type of material, the thickness of the layer, the initial moisture content of the
material and of the air, and on the rate of ventilation. In a drying oven, the

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 droits
de propriété intellectuelle ou de droits analogues. L'ISO ne saurait être tenue pour responsable de ne pas avoir

Qualité du sol — Prétraitement des échantillons pour analyses
physico-chimiques
1 Domaine d'application
La présente Norme internationale spécifie les prétraitements nécessaires des échantillons de sol devant être
soumis à des analyses physico-chimiques des paramètres stables et non-volatils et décrit les cinq types de
prétraitement des échantillons suivants: séchage, broyage, tamisage, séparation et pulvérisation.
Les méthodes de prétraitement décrites dans la présente Norme internationale ne doivent pas être utilisées si
elles affectent les résultats des déterminations à réaliser. La présente Norme internationale ne doit également
pas être utilisée pour des échantillons dans lesquels on mesure des composés volatiles. En règle générale, les
Normes internationales relatives aux méthodes analytiques précisent lorsqu'il est nécessaire d'adopter d'autres
façons de procéder.

3Principe
◦
Les échantillons de sol sont séchés à l'air ou dans une étuve dont la température ne dépasse pas 40 C ou sont
lyophilisés (voir 5.3). Au besoin, l'échantillon de sol est broyé, alors qu'il est encore humide et friable, et à
2mm
nouveau après le séchage (voir 5.4). Le sol est tamisé et la fraction inférieure à est fractionnée par des
moyens mécaniques ou à la main en sous-échantillons représentatifs pour les analyses (voir 5.5). Si les
analyses exigent des sous-échantillons plus petits (< 2g), il faut réduire encore plus la granulométrie de la
fraction inférieure à 2mm (voir 5.6). Le schéma fonctionnel de la Figure 1 indique les méthodes nécessaires.
◦
Un séchage à l'étuve à 40 C est préférable à un séchage à l'air à la température ambiante, du fait que la
rapidité du séchage limite les variations dues à l'activité microbienne.
II convient de noter que chaque type de prétraitement a des répercussions sur diverses caractéristiques du sol.
La dimension de 2mm d'ouverture des mailles de tamis est généralement utilisée. Avant le début du
prétraitement, il convient toutefois de vérifier si aucune des méthodes analytiques à utiliser ultérieurement ne
nécessite d'autres dimensions de tamis.
NOTE La conservation prolongée d'échantillons de sol, y compris les échantillons tels qu'ils sont reçus, séchés à l'air,
réfrigérés ou conservés à l'abri de la lumière, peut avoir une influence sur un certain nombre de paramètres du sol, en
particulier sur la solubilité des fractions inorganiques et organiques. Voir la Référence [1].

II convient généralement de prendre des mesures spéciales pour les échantillons provenant de sols
contaminés. II importe d'éviter tout contact avec la peau et il convient de prendre des mesures particulières
pour le séchage desdits échantillons (ventilation, évacuation de l'air, etc.). Les échantillons peuvent être
dangereux en raison de la présence de contaminants chimiques, de spores fongiques ou de pathogènes tels
que les leptospires. Il convient donc de prendre les mesures de sécurité qui s'imposent.
Dans le cadre de la présente Norme internationale, en règle générale, on considère disposer d'au moins 500 g
de sol frais.
La conservation d'un échantillon pour archives (voir la Figure 1) est facultative et il conviendrait de l'indiquer
clairement dans la description globale du programme d'étude.
4 Appareillage
II est essentiel que l'appareillage utilisé n'ajoute ou n'élimine aucune substance à rechercher (par exemple, des
métaux lourds). Toute interdiction d'emploi de certains types d'équipements et/ou de matériaux pour le
prétraitement des échantillons nécessaires aux analyses physico-chimiques doit être précisée dans les Normes
internationales appropriées relatives aux analyses (voir la Note).
4.1 Étuve de séchage, à thermostat de contrôle et ventilation forcée capable de maintenir une température
◦
ne dépassant pas 40 C.
4.2 Lyophilisateur, facultatif.
4.3 Broyeur(s), moulin(s), mortier et pilon, maillet à tête en bois ou autres matériaux tendres (voir la Note).
2mm
4.4 Plateau perforé, conforme à I'ISO 565, avec des ouvertures de .
4.5 Mélangeur(s) mécanique(s).
4.6 Agitateur mécanique pour le tamis, facultatif (voir la Note).
4.7 Appareil de sous-échantillonnage ou diviseur d'échantillons (voir la Note).
4.8 Tamis à mailles conforme à l'ISO 565, d'ouverture de mailles de 250µm ou de la dimension spécifiée
dans la méthode d'essai correspondante.
4.9 Balance analytique, lisible et précise à 0,1 g près.
4.10 Balance, lisible et précise à 1g près.
NOTE L'appareillage à utiliser n'est pas précisé en détail, cependant les Figures A.1 à A.4 illustrent certains types
d'équipements convenant aux différentes opérations. On peut trouver dans la plupart des normes nationales comparables
des spécifications détaillées d'équipements qui peuvent convenir, sous réserve qu'elles répondent aux exigences
fonctionnelles de base stipulées par la présente Norme internationale.
5 Mode opératoire
5.1 Généralités
La méthode à suivre pour le séchage, la séparation en fractions et la réduction granulométrique est indiquée en
5.3 et 5.4. À diverses étapes du processus, l'analyste est amené à prendre des décisions, notamment quant à
la combinaison ou au traitement séparé des fractions de granulométries différentes. Cette décision dépend de
la nature du sol et des objectifs visés par le programme d'analyses.

Après toute opération de séparation, de tamisage, de broyage ou de pulvérisation (pouvant provoquer la
ségrégation des particules de granulométries différentes), l'échantillon doit être homogénéisé à nouveau.
AVERTISSEMENT — Prendre des précautions particulières avec les échantillons provenant de sols
potentiellement dangereux. Éviter tout contact avec la peau et prendre des mesures spéciales en ce qui
concerne le séchage (évacuation de l'air, ventilation, etc.).
Il convient de veiller à éviter toute contamination de l'échantillon par l'air ou la poussière (par exemple, par l'air
ambiant du laboratoire ou par d'autres échantillons conservés ou traités les uns à côté des autres).
II est recommandé de toujours effectuer le prétraitement des échantillons de sol dans une pièce réservée à cet
effet, éloignée des postes servant aux mesures analytiques.
NOTE Un échantillon pulvérulent peut subir une perte partielle de substance pouvant modifier ses propriétés physico-
chimiques.
