Comprehensive Guide to ISO 10530 Measurement of Turbidity in Water Samples Laboratory Testing Service by Eurolab

ISO 10530 is an international standard that specifies the requirements for measuring turbidity in water samples. This standard is developed and maintained by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) to ensure consistency and accuracy in laboratory testing.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The measurement of turbidity in water samples is regulated by various laws and regulations, including the European Unions Drinking Water Directive (98/83/EC), the United States Environmental Protection Agencys (EPA) Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), and the World Health Organizations (WHO) guidelines for drinking-water quality. These regulations require laboratories to follow specific testing procedures and report results in accordance with established standards.

International and National Standards

ISO 10530 is harmonized with other international and national standards, including:

  • ASTM D1886: Standard Test Method for Measurement of Turbidity

  • EN ISO 7393-1: Water quality Determination of turbidity Part 1: Photometric method using filtered radiation (ISO 10530)

  • TSE LISO 10530: Turkish Standard for the measurement of turbidity in water samples

    • Standard Development Organizations
