Comprehensive Guide to EN ISO 9562 Total Organic Carbon in Wastewater Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

Standard-Related Information

EN ISO 9562 is an international standard that specifies the requirements for the determination of total organic carbon (TOC) in wastewater. This standard is developed and maintained by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which is a non-governmental organization that develops voluntary standards for various industries.

The standard EN ISO 9562 is part of a larger series of standards related to water quality, including EN 2670-1:2014, EN 2670-2:2014, and EN 2670-3:2014. These standards provide guidelines for the determination of various parameters in wastewater, including pH, conductivity, and TOC.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The European Union has implemented regulations that require wastewater treatment plants to monitor and report on their effluent quality. The EU Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC) sets out the requirements for water quality management, including the determination of TOC in wastewater.

In addition to the EU regulations, various national standards and regulations apply to the determination of TOC in wastewater. For example, in Germany, the Federal Immission Control Act (BImSchG) requires wastewater treatment plants to monitor their effluent quality, including TOC levels.

International and National Standards

The following international and national standards apply to EN ISO 9562 Total Organic Carbon in Wastewater testing:

  • ISO 9562:2014 - Water quality - Determination of total organic carbon (TOC) content

  • EN 2670-1:2014 - Water quality - Determination of the TOC content

  • EN 2670-2:2014 - Water quality - Determination of the TOC content (infrared method)

  • EN 2670-3:2014 - Water quality - Determination of the TOC content (oxygen bomb combustion method)

    • Standard Development Organizations

    The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is responsible for developing and maintaining standards related to water quality. The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) also plays a significant role in developing and maintaining national standards related to water quality.

    Standard Evolution and Update

    Standards evolve over time as new technologies and methodologies become available. EN ISO 9562 has undergone several revisions since its initial publication, with the latest revision being published in 2014. The standard is updated periodically to reflect changes in technology, methodology, or regulatory requirements.
