ASTM D6311 Aerobic Bacteria Testing in Industrial Water: Eurolabs Laboratory Testing Service

Standard-Related Information

ASTM D6311 is a standard test method for determining the presence of aerobic bacteria in industrial water. This standard is published by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and is widely recognized and adopted globally.

The standard outlines the requirements for conducting the test, including sample collection, preparation, and analysis. The test involves culturing the bacteria present in the water sample on a suitable growth medium, followed by enumeration of the resulting colonies.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The testing service provided by Eurolab is governed by various laws and regulations that ensure the accuracy and reliability of the results. Some of these regulatory requirements include:

  • OSHA Regulations: The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulates the exposure limits for certain chemicals in industrial water, and compliance with ASTM D6311 ensures that industries meet these standards.

  • EPA Guidelines: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) provides guidelines for industrial water treatment, including requirements for aerobic bacteria testing. Eurolabs service is designed to ensure compliance with these guidelines.

  • ISO Standards: International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards provide a framework for ensuring the quality and reliability of laboratory tests, including ASTM D6311.

    • Standard Requirements and Needs

    The need for aerobic bacteria testing in industrial water arises from several business and technical reasons:
