ISO 10523 pH Measurement in Hazardous Waste Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

ISO 10523 is a laboratory testing standard that governs the measurement of pH in hazardous waste. The standard provides guidelines for the sampling, preparation, and analysis of waste samples to determine their pH levels.

The legal and regulatory framework surrounding ISO 10523 pH Measurement is governed by various international and national standards. Some of the key standards include:

  • ISO 10523:2018 - Determination of pH (ISO 10523)
  • ASTM D1062-17 - Standard Test Methods for pH of Aqueous Solutions
  • EN 12457-1:2005 - Digestion for heavy metals in soils and other matrices by static extraction with aqua regia
  • TSE-EN ISO 10523:2018 - Determination of pH (ISO 10523)
  • The standard development organizations that govern these standards include the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), European Committee for Standardization (CEN), and Turkish Standards Institution (TSE).

    Standards evolve and get updated to reflect new scientific discoveries, technological advancements, and changing regulatory requirements. In this case, ISO 10523 has undergone several revisions since its initial publication in 1992.

    Some specific standard numbers and their scope are:

  • ISO 10523:2018 - This is the current edition of the standard that provides guidelines for pH measurement in hazardous waste.
  • ASTM D1062-17 - This standard provides test methods for pH measurement in aqueous solutions, including those found in hazardous waste.
  • EN 12457-1:2005 - This standard provides digestion methods for heavy metals in soils and other matrices, which includes pH measurement.
  • Standard compliance requirements vary depending on the industry and sector. For example:

  • In the chemical industry, ISO 10523 is a mandatory requirement for ensuring product safety and quality.
  • In the environmental sector, EN 12457-1:2005 is a regulatory requirement for assessing heavy metal levels in soils.
