EPA 1680 Detection of Yeasts and Molds in Wastewater: Eurolabs Laboratory Testing Service

The detection of yeasts and molds in wastewater is a critical aspect of environmental monitoring, as these microorganisms can pose significant risks to human health and the environment. In this section, we will explore the relevant standards that govern EPA 1680 Detection of Yeasts and Molds in Wastewater testing.

International Standards

  • ISO 846 (1994) - Determination of the effects of micro-organisms on materials

  • ASTM E1176 (2013) - Standard Practice for Conducting Microbial Ecology Studies

  • EN ISO 16654 (2005) - Water quality Detection and enumeration of yeast by filtration

    • National Standards

  • EPA Method 1680 (1994) - Detection of Yeasts and Molds in Wastewater

  • ASTM D5590 (2011) - Standard Test Method for Determining the Presence or Absence of Total Coliforms, Fecal Coliforms, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Fungi in Water

    • Standard Development Organizations

    The International Organization for Standardization (ISO), American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), and European Committee for Standardization (CEN) are the primary standard development organizations responsible for developing standards related to environmental monitoring.

    Evolution of Standards

    Standards evolve over time as new technologies, methods, and scientific research become available. For example, the latest version of ISO 846 (2015) includes updated guidelines for determining the effects of micro-organisms on materials.

    Standard Numbers and Scope
