Water quality - Radon-222 - Part 3: Test method using emanometry (ISO 13164-3:2013)

ISO 13164-3:2013 specifies a test method for the determination of radon-222 activity concentration in a sample of water following its transfer from the aqueous phase to the air phase by degassing and its detection. It gives recommendations for rapid measurements performed within less than 1 h.
The radon-222 activity concentrations, which can be measured by this test method utilizing currently available instruments, range from 0,1 Bq l−1 to several hundred thousand becquerels per litre for a 100 ml test sample.
This test method is used successfully with drinking water samples. The laboratory is responsible for ensuring the validity of this test method for water samples of untested matrices.
This test method can be applied on field sites or in the laboratory.
Annexes A and B give indications on the necessary counting conditions to meet the required sensitivity for drinking water monitoring

Wasserbeschaffenheit - Radon-222 - Teil 2: Verfahren mittels Emanometrie (ISO 13164-3:2013)

Dieser Teil von ISO 13164 legt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Radon 222 Aktivitätskonzentration in einer Wasserprobe fest, nachdem diese durch Entgasen von der wässrigen Phase in die Luftphase übergegangen ist und nachgewiesen wurde. Er gibt Empfehlungen für Schnellmessungen, die innerhalb von weniger als 1 h durchgeführt werden.
Die Radon 222 Aktivitätskonzentrationen, die mit diesem Verfahren unter Verwendung derzeit verfügbarer Instrumente gemessen werden können, reichen von 0,1 Bq l−1 bis zu mehreren hundert-tausend Becquerel je Liter für eine 100 ml Analysenprobe.
Dieses Verfahren wird erfolgreich bei Trinkwasserproben eingesetzt. Das Labor ist dafür verantwortlich, die Gültigkeit dieses Prüfverfahrens für Wasserproben ungeprüfter Matrizen sicherzustellen.
Dieses Prüfverfahren kann vor Ort oder im Labor angewendet werden.
Die Anhänge A und B enthalten Angaben zu den erforderlichen Zählbedingungen, um die für die Trinkwasser¬überwachung erforderliche Empfindlichkeit zu erreichen.

Qualité de l’eau - Radon 222 - Partie 3: Méthode d’essai par émanométrie (ISO 13164-3:2013)

L'ISO 13164-3:2013 spécifie une méthode d'essai permettant de déterminer l'activité volumique du radon 222 dans un échantillon d'eau après son transfert de la phase aqueuse vers la phase air par dégazage et sa détection. Elle donne des recommandations concernant des mesures rapides effectuées sur une période inférieure à 1 h.
Les valeurs d'activité volumique du radon 222, qui peuvent être mesurées par cette méthode d'essai à l'aide d'instruments actuellement disponibles, sont comprises entre 0,1 Bq l−1 et plusieurs centaines de milliers de becquerels par litre pour un échantillon d'essai de 100 ml.
Cette méthode d'essai est utilisée avec succès sur des échantillons d'eau potable. Il appartient au laboratoire de garantir la validité de cette méthode d'essai pour des échantillons d'eau provenant de matrices non soumises à essai.
Cette méthode d'essai peut être mise en oeuvre sur site ou en laboratoire.
Les annexes donnent des indications sur les conditions de comptage nécessaires pour obtenir la sensibilité requise pour la surveillance de l'eau potable.

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, www.iso.org/directives.
