SIST ISO 6107:2026/Amd 1:2026 is a SIST publication that adopts ISO 6107:2021/Amd.1:2026, the amendment to Water quality - Vocabulary. It updates selected water-quality terms so laboratories, environmental specialists, regulators and other technical users apply the same wording when describing processes, microorganisms and water samples.

What does SIST ISO 6107:2026/Amd 1:2026 specify?

SIST ISO 6107:2026/Amd 1:2026 specifies amendments to the vocabulary standard for water quality. The amendment is organized as Clause 3, where selected terminological entries are replaced.

In practice, this means the document is not a full rewrite of the vocabulary standard. It is a targeted update to three definitions that affect how people classify degradation, identify coliform bacteria and describe water held between solid particles.

What are the key requirements of SIST ISO 6107:2026/Amd 1:2026?

The main substance of SIST ISO 6107:2026/Amd 1:2026 is the replacement of three terminology entries in Clause 3.

• 3.1 - abiotic degradation - The amendment defines this as the breakdown of a substance by chemical or physical processes into smaller particles, with examples such as hydrolysis and photolysis. In practice, this helps users distinguish non-biological degradation from biological decay when writing reports or specifications.
• 3.116 - coliform bacteria / total coliform organisms - The amendment gives a microbiological definition for this group of gram-negative, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped bacteria that grow aerobically or facultatively anaerobically in the presence of bile-salts or similar agents and produce β-D-galactosidase. In practice, this is important for consistent water testing and result interpretation.
• 3.298 - interstitial water - The amendment defines this as water retained in the spaces between solid particles. In practice, this matters in sample description, sediment work and any discussion of water held within porous material.

These definitions are the key technical update. They matter because vocabulary standards support clear communication across laboratories, contracts, reports and regulatory text.

What changed in SIST ISO 6107:2026/Amd 1:2026 from the previous edition?

SIST ISO 6107:2026/Amd 1:2026 replaces three entries in Clause 3 of ISO 6107:2021.

• Entry 3.1 is replaced with the definition of abiotic degradation.
• Entry 3.116 is replaced with the definition of coliform bacteria and the preferred equivalent term total coliform organisms.
• Entry 3.298 is replaced with the definition of interstitial water.

This means users who already work with ISO 6107:2021 should apply the updated wording for these three terms in their documents and technical communications.

Who uses SIST ISO 6107:2026/Amd 1:2026?

SIST ISO 6107:2026/Amd 1:2026 is used by people who need shared terminology in water-quality work. Typical users include laboratory staff, environmental monitoring teams, water utilities, regulators, consultants, researchers and technical writers.

They use it when preparing test reports, setting specifications, comparing monitoring data or translating technical language into consistent terms. It is also useful for quality managers and buyers who need contract language that matches recognized water-quality vocabulary.

Which standards are used with SIST ISO 6107:2026/Amd 1:2026?

SIST ISO 6107:2026/Amd 1:2026 is used with ISO 6107:2021, the base Water quality - Vocabulary standard that the amendment updates. The amendment does not stand alone in practice; it is applied to that vocabulary document.

What does the SIST ISO 6107:2026/Amd 1:2026 document contain?

The document contains the amendment text for Clause 3 of ISO 6107:2021. It provides revised terminological entries and short notes to entries, including examples for abiotic degradation and additional context for coliform bacteria.

It also identifies the precise entry numbers that are replaced, which helps editors and technical users update documents without changing the rest of the vocabulary standard. The content is focused on terminology, not on test methods or numerical limits.
