Comprehensive Guide to ASTM D6584 Detection of Organic Contaminants in Wastewater Testing Services

Provided by Eurolab

ASTM D6584 is a widely recognized standard for the detection of organic contaminants in wastewater. This standard is developed and maintained by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), a globally respected organization that sets standards for materials, products, and services.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The detection of organic contaminants in wastewater is governed by various national and international regulations, including:

  • The European Unions Water Framework Directive (WFD)

  • The US Environmental Protection Agencys (EPA) Clean Water Act

  • The International Organization for Standardizations (ISO) 9001:2015 Quality Management System standard

    • These regulations require wastewater treatment plants to monitor and control the levels of organic contaminants in their effluent.

    Standard Development Organizations

    ASTM is a leading developer of standards for materials, products, and services. Other prominent standard development organizations include:

  • ISO

  • EN (European Committee for Standardization)

  • TSE (Turkish Standards Institution)

    • These organizations collaborate to develop and harmonize international standards.

    Standard Evolution and Update

    Standards evolve over time to reflect changes in technology, regulations, and industry needs. ASTM D6584 has undergone several revisions since its initial publication in 2009, with the most recent revision in 2020.

    Standard Numbers and Scope

    The relevant standard numbers for ASTM D6584 are:

  • ASTM D6584-20: Standard Test Method for Determination of Organic Contaminants in Wastewater by Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry

  • ISO 17402:2018: Water quality - Determination of organic compounds using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry

    • Standard Compliance Requirements

    Compliance with ASTM D6584 is essential for wastewater treatment plants, regulatory agencies, and industries that handle wastewater. Failure to comply can result in costly fines, penalties, and reputational damage.
