EN ISO 7890-3 Determination of Nitrate in Wastewater
Comprehensive Guide to EN ISO 7890-3 Determination of Nitrate in Wastewater Testing Services
EN ISO 7890-3 is a widely recognized international standard for the determination of nitrate in wastewater. The standard provides a detailed methodology for laboratories to follow when conducting this specific test. Eurolab, as a leading laboratory testing service provider, is well-equipped to assist clients in meeting their regulatory requirements and ensuring compliance with this standard.
International and National Standards
EN ISO 7890-3 is based on the international standard ISO 7890-3:2016(E) Water quality - Determination of nitrate - Part 3: Spectrometric method using a continuous flow analyser. This standard has been adopted by many countries, including those in the European Union, and is widely recognized as a benchmark for laboratory testing.
Standard Development Organizations
The development and maintenance of standards such as EN ISO 7890-3 are overseen by organizations such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), and national standard bodies. These organizations work together to ensure that standards remain up-to-date and relevant to industry needs.
Standard Compliance Requirements
Companies operating in industries where wastewater is a byproduct, such as food processing, textile manufacturing, or chemical production, are required to comply with regulations governing the release of nitrates into the environment. EN ISO 7890-3 provides a recognized methodology for laboratories to determine nitrate levels in wastewater samples.
Consequences of Non-Compliance
Failure to conduct regular testing and monitoring can result in environmental damage, fines, and reputational damage. Eurolabs EN ISO 7890-3 determination of nitrate in wastewater testing service helps clients avoid these consequences by providing accurate and reliable test results.

The EN ISO 7890-3 determination of nitrate in wastewater test involves a spectrometric method using a continuous flow analyzer. The standard provides a detailed methodology for laboratories to follow when conducting this specific test.
Spectrometric Method
The spectrometric method is based on the principle that nitrate ions absorb light at a specific wavelength, which is then measured by a spectrometer. This method provides high accuracy and precision, making it an ideal choice for determining nitrate levels in wastewater samples.
Continuous Flow Analyzer
A continuous flow analyzer is used to measure the concentration of nitrate ions in the sample. The instrument works on the principle of differential measurement, where the light absorbed by the sample is compared to a reference value.
Calibration and Validation
The spectrometer and continuous flow analyzer must be calibrated and validated before use. This involves preparing calibration standards and validating the equipment against these standards.
Sample Preparation
Wastewater samples are prepared for testing by adjusting their pH and concentration to meet the requirements of the standard. The sample is then introduced into the spectrometer, where it is measured for nitrate content.
