Overview
EN 12673:1998 is a CEN European Standard for water quality that specifies a gas chromatographic determination of selected chlorophenols in various water types. The method covers the analysis of 19 chlorophenolic compounds in drinking water, groundwater, rainwater, waste water, sea water and surface water. This standard is used to identify and quantify chlorophenols as part of environmental monitoring and regulatory water testing.
Key topics and requirements
- Analytes covered: the standard applies to the following 19 chlorophenols:
- 2-, 3- and 4-chlorophenol
- 2,3-, 2,4-, 2,5-, 2,6-, 3,4- and 3,5-dichlorophenol
- 2,3,4-, 2,3,5-, 2,3,6-, 2,4,5-, 2,4,6- and 3,4,5-trichlorophenol
- 2,3,4,5-, 2,3,4,6- and 2,3,5,6-tetrachlorophenol
- pentachlorophenol
- Analytical technique: specifies use of gas chromatography (GC) for separation and determination of the listed chlorophenols.
- Sample scope: applicable to multiple matrices-drinking water, groundwater, rainwater, waste water, sea water and surface water-ensuring broad environmental relevance.
- Method components: the standard defines the analytical workflow typical for GC methods: sample collection and handling, sample preparation prior to GC analysis, chromatographic separation, identification and quantification of target compounds, and requirements for quality control and documentation.
- Quality assurance: includes expectations for calibration, use of reference materials or standards, performance checks, and result reporting to ensure reliable, reproducible data (see the full standard for specific QA/QC procedures).
Applications
- Environmental monitoring: routine monitoring of chlorophenols in rivers, lakes and coastal waters to assess contamination and trends.
- Drinking water compliance: testing raw and treated drinking water for trace chlorophenols of toxicological concern.
- Wastewater testing: assessment of industrial discharges and municipal treatment plant effluents for chlorophenolic compounds.
- Research and development: laboratory method validation, fate and transport studies, and ecotoxicological investigations.
- Users: environmental laboratories, public water utilities, regulatory agencies, wastewater treatment operators and academic researchers.
Related standards
- EN 12673 complements other CEN/ISO standards on organic micropollutant analysis and GC methods used in water quality testing. Laboratories should consult EN 12673 alongside national regulations and other method standards for comprehensive compliance and method validation guidance.
