Comprehensive Guide to ISO 11269-1 Determination of Effects of Pollutants on Soil Microorganisms Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

ISO 11269-1 is a globally recognized standard that governs the determination of effects of pollutants on soil microorganisms. This standard, published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), provides a framework for laboratory testing to assess the impact of pollutants on soil microbiota.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The legal and regulatory framework surrounding ISO 11269-1 is extensive. In many countries, this standard is referenced in national regulations and laws related to environmental protection, waste management, and pollution control. For example, in the European Union (EU), ISO 11269-1 is mentioned in the EUs Waste Framework Directive (2008/98/EC) and the EUs Environmental Protection Action Programme.

International and National Standards

ISO 11269-1 is part of a series of standards developed by ISO to assess the effects of pollutants on soil microorganisms. The standard is designed to be used in conjunction with other standards, such as:

  • ISO 11465:1997 (Soil quality Soil sampling)

  • ISO 10381-1:2003 (Soil quality Determination of dry matter and water content)

  • ISO 11269-2:2012 (Soil quality Determination of effects of pollutants on soil microorganisms - Part 2: Fungi)

    • National standards, such as those published by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), also reference ISO 11269-1.

    Standard Development Organizations
