EPA 8081B Organochlorine Pesticide Residue Testing in Drinking Water Laboratory Testing Service: A Comprehensive Guide

EPA 8081B Organochlorine Pesticide Residue Testing in Drinking Water is a laboratory testing service that involves the analysis of drinking water samples for the presence of organochlorine pesticides. This testing service is governed by various international and national standards, including those set forth by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), and the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM).

International Standards

  • ISO 17025:2005 General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories

  • ISO 9001:2015 Quality management systems Requirements

  • ASTM D 1064-01 Standard Guide for Sampling and Analysis of Chlorinated Organics in Drinking Water

    • National Standards

  • US EPA Method 8081B Organochlorine Pesticide Residue Testing in Drinking Water

  • State Environmental Agency Regulations (e.g. California Department of Public Health, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation)

    • Standard Development Organizations

    The development and revision of standards for laboratory testing services are typically managed by standard development organizations such as:

  • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO)

  • United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

    • These organizations work together to develop, revise, and maintain standards that ensure the accuracy, reliability, and consistency of laboratory testing services.

    Evolution of Standards
