EN ISO 8466-1 Water Quality – Determination of pH
Comprehensive Guide to EN ISO 8466-1 Water Quality Determination of pH Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab
EN ISO 8466-1 is a laboratory testing standard that governs the determination of pH in water quality. This standard is part of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) family and has been adopted by many countries, including Europe through EN standards.
The standard is based on the principles of accuracy, precision, and reproducibility. It provides a framework for laboratories to follow when performing pH measurements, ensuring that results are reliable and comparable across different locations.
Legal and Regulatory Framework
The legal and regulatory framework surrounding EN ISO 8466-1 Water Quality Determination of pH testing is governed by national and international laws and regulations. In the European Union, the standard is harmonized with Directive 96/60/EC on drinking water quality, which requires laboratories to follow standardized methods for determining pH.
In other regions, such as North America, the standard is recognized by regulatory bodies like the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Health Canada. These organizations have adopted EN ISO 8466-1 as a reference method for pH measurement in drinking water.
International and National Standards
EN ISO 8466-1 Water Quality Determination of pH testing is governed by several international and national standards, including:
