Eurolabs EPA 350.1 Chemical Oxygen Demand Testing Laboratory Testing Service

EPA 350.1 Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) testing is a widely recognized laboratory test used to measure the amount of oxygen required to break down organic matter in water and wastewater samples. This test is governed by various international and national standards, which are detailed below.

Relevant Standards

  • ISO 6060:1999: Water quality - Determination of the chemical oxygen demand (COD)

  • ASTM D808:2017: Standard Test Method for Chemical Oxygen Demand

  • EN ISO 6060:2006: Water quality - Determination of the chemical oxygen demand (COD)

  • TSE EN ISO 6060: Turkish Standard for COD testing

    • These standards specify the procedures and conditions for conducting COD testing, including sample preparation, testing equipment, and measurement methods.

    Legal and Regulatory Framework

    The EPA 350.1 COD test is required by various regulatory agencies worldwide, including:

  • US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA): Requires COD testing as part of wastewater treatment plant monitoring

  • European Union: Sets limit values for COD in water and wastewater

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO): Publishes standards for COD testing

    • Standard Development Organizations

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO): Develops and publishes international standards, including those for COD testing

  • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM): Develops and publishes ASTM standards, including D808

  • European Committee for Standardization (CEN): Develops and publishes EN standards, including EN ISO 6060

    • Standard Evolution and Updates

    Standards evolve over time to reflect advances in technology, changes in regulatory requirements, and new research findings. Eurolab stays up-to-date with the latest developments and ensures that its testing services are aligned with current standards.

    Specific Standard Numbers and Scope

  • ISO 6060:1999: Covers COD testing for water and wastewater samples

  • ASTM D808:2017: Specifies procedures for COD testing in environmental monitoring

  • EN ISO 6060:2006: Aligns European Union regulations with international standards

    • Standard Compliance Requirements

    Compliance with these standards is mandatory for industries that require COD testing, including:

  • Wastewater treatment plants

  • Water supply systems

  • Industrial processes (e.g., textile, paper, and food processing)

  • Chemical manufacturing

  • Oil refineries

    • Standard-Related Information Conclusion

    In conclusion, EPA 350.1 Chemical Oxygen Demand Testing is a critical laboratory test governed by various international and national standards. Eurolab stays current with the latest developments and ensures that its testing services meet or exceed these standards.
