ASTM D6189 Rapid Bacteria Detection in Water Using ATP Bioluminescence: Eurolabs Laboratory Testing Service

The detection of bacteria in water is a critical aspect of ensuring public health and safety. ASTM D6189, Rapid Bacteria Detection in Water Using ATP Bioluminescence, is an internationally recognized standard for detecting bacteria in water using Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) bioluminescence technology. This standard is governed by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), a leading global developer of voluntary consensus standards.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The detection of bacteria in water is regulated by various national and international laws, including the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) in the United States, the European Unions Drinking Water Directive (DWD), and the World Health Organizations (WHO) Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality. These regulations require water utilities to monitor and report on the presence of bacteria in drinking water supplies.

International and National Standards

The ASTM D6189 standard is based on ISO 19498, Water quality - Determination of microorganisms in drinking water by adenosine triphosphate (ATP) bioluminescence method. This international standard provides a framework for the detection of bacteria in drinking water using ATP bioluminescence technology. In addition to ASTM D6189 and ISO 19498, other national standards that govern bacterial detection in water include:

  • EN 12904:2000 (European Standard)

  • TSE 648:2017 (Turkish Standard)

  • GB/T 17543-2016 (Chinese Standard)

    • Standard Development Organizations

    The development of ASTM D6189 is overseen by the ASTM Committee on Water (C01). The committee comprises experts from various industries, including water utilities, laboratories, and regulatory agencies. The standard is regularly reviewed and updated to reflect changes in technology, science, and regulations.

    Consequences of Non-Compliance

    Failure to detect bacteria in drinking water can have severe consequences for public health and safety. Bacteria can cause waterborne diseases, such as cholera, typhoid fever, and dysentery.
