EPA Method 6060 Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) Analysis in Wastewater Laboratory Testing Service

Standard-Related Information

The EPA Method 6060 Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) Analysis in Wastewater testing is a laboratory test that measures the amount of oxygen required to break down organic matter in wastewater. This test is governed by various international and national standards, which are essential for ensuring the accuracy, reliability, and compliance of the test results.

International and National Standards

The relevant standards for EPA Method 6060 Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) Analysis in Wastewater testing include:

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

  • ASTM D1252-98 Standard Test Methods for Chemical Oxygen Demand of Aqueous Samples

  • EN 1894:2003 Chemical oxygen demand, COD

  • TSE EN 1894:2011 Kimyasal Oksijen Talebi (COD)

  • Other regional and national standards may also apply

    • These standards specify the requirements for sampling, sample preparation, testing equipment, and test procedures. They also provide guidance on the interpretation of test results and the reporting of data.

    Standard Development Organizations

    The development and maintenance of these standards are overseen by standard development organizations (SDOs) such as:

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO)

  • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)

  • European Committee for Standardization (CEN)

  • Turkish Standards Institution (TSE)

    • These SDOs ensure that the standards are up-to-date, accurate, and relevant to the needs of industry stakeholders.

    Standard Evolution and Update

    Standards evolve over time as new technologies emerge, or new research findings become available. This may result in updates to existing standards or the development of new ones. It is essential for laboratories to stay informed about changes to relevant standards and adapt their testing procedures accordingly.
