EN ISO 10304-1 Ion Chromatography for Anions in Potable Water Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab: A Comprehensive Guide

The laboratory testing service provided by Eurolab for EN ISO 10304-1 Ion Chromatography for Anions in Potable Water is governed by a set of international and national standards that ensure the accuracy, reliability, and safety of the testing process. This section will provide an overview of the relevant standards, their scope, and the legal and regulatory framework surrounding this testing service.

Relevant Standards

  • ISO 10304-1:2009(E): Ion chromatography - Determination of anions by ion-exchange chromatography - Part 1: Determination of anions (including fluoroborate) in water

  • ASTM D5907-08: Standard Test Method for Determination of Anions in Water

  • EN 1484-3:2008: Water quality - Determination of anions by liquid chromatography (LC)

  • TSE 673/2:2011: Potable water - Anion determination

    • These standards outline the procedures, methods, and requirements for determining anions in potable water using ion chromatography. They cover aspects such as sample preparation, testing equipment, measurement parameters, and reporting formats.

    Standard Development Organizations (SDOs)

    The SDOs responsible for developing and maintaining these standards include:

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO): A non-profit organization that develops and publishes international standards.
