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).

This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 10390:2005), which has been technically
revised.The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— The content of ISO 10390:2005 and EN 15933:2012 were merged;
— The scope was widened to include sludge and treated biowaste;
— Additional validation data for soil, sludge and treated biowaste were included;

Soil, treated biowaste and sludge – Determination of pH
1 Scope
This document specifies an instrumental method for the routine determination of pH within the range
pH 2 to pH 12 using a glass electrode in a 1:5 (volume fraction) suspension of soil, sludge and treated
biowaste in either water (pH in H O), in 1 mol/l potassium chloride solution (pH in KCl) or in 0,01 mol/l

2
This document is applicable to all types of air-dried soil and treated biowaste samples.
NOTE For example, pretreated in accordance with ISO 11464 or EN 16179 or EN 15002.
2 Normative references
There are no normative references in this document.
3 Terms and definitions
No terms and definitions are listed in this document.
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:
— ISO Online browsing platform: available at https:// www .iso .org/ obp
— IEC Electropedia: available at http:// www .electropedia .org/
4 Principle
A suspension of a test portion is made up in five times its volume with one of the following solutions:
— water;
— a solution of potassium chloride (KCl) in water, c = 1 mol/l;
— a solution of calcium chloride (CaCI ) in water, c = 0,01 mol/l.
2
The pH of the suspension is measured using a pH-meter.
NOTE 1 To make the procedure generally applicable to all types of soil, treated biowaste samples and sludges
except liquid sludge, a volume-to-volume shaking ratio is chosen because all test samples can be treated in the
same way. If a mass-to-volume ratio were chosen, the weighed amount of test sample would have to be adapted
for e.g. soils with a low density, to enable the preparation of the suspension. For the purpose of this document, it
is sufficiently accurate to measure the required volume of test portion with a measuring spoon.

Soil, sludge and treated biowaste – Determination of pH

pH 2 to pH 12 using a glass electrode in a 1:5 (volume fraction) suspension of soil, sludge and treated
biowaste in water (pH in H O), in 1 mol/l potassium chloride solution (pH in KCl) or in 0,01 mol/l

This document is applicable to all types of air-dried soil and treated biowaste samples.
NOTE For example pretreated in accordance with ISO 11464 or EN 16179 or EN 15002.
2 Normative references
The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content
constitutes requirements 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
A suspension of a testportion is made up in five times its volume with one of the following solutions:
— water;
— a solution of potassium chloride (KCl) in water, c = 1 mol/l;
— a solution of calcium chloride (CaCI ) in water, c = 0,01 mol/l.
2
The pH of the suspension is measured using a pH-meter.
NOTE 1 To make the procedure generally applicable to all types of soil, treated biowaste samples except liquid
sludge, a volume-to-volume shaking ratio is chosen because then all soil test samples can be treated in the same
way. If a mass-to-volume ratio were chosen, the weighed amount of test sample would have to be adapted for
e.g. soils with a low density, to enable the preparation of the suspension. For the purpose of this International
Standard, taking the required volume of test portion with a measuring spoon is sufficiently accurate.
NOTE 2 In samples with a high content of charged particles (e.g. organic matter, clay) the suspension effect
can modify the potential difference between the electrodes, and thereby have an influence on the recorded pH
value. This problem is minimized by gentle stirring of the suspension. For calcareous material, carbon dioxide
may be absorbed by the suspension, which makes it difficult to reach an equilibrium value. Other sources of error
are associated with materials containing sulfidic minerals or volatile acids.
4 Reagents
