ISO 11277 Soil Quality – Organic Carbon DeterminationISO 11277 Soil Quality Organic Carbon Determination Laboratory Testing Service: A Comprehensive Guide
Standard-Related Information
ISO 11277 is an international standard that provides a method for determining the organic carbon content in soils. The standard is published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and is widely adopted across the globe. The standard is also recognized by regulatory bodies and industry associations as a benchmark for quality and accuracy.
The standard is based on a series of laboratory tests that measure the amount of organic carbon present in soil samples. The test method involves combustion of the soil sample, followed by analysis of the resulting gases to determine the carbon dioxide content. The concentration of organic carbon is then calculated using a calibration curve or a reference material.
The ISO 11277 standard has been widely adopted across various industries, including agriculture, construction, and environmental monitoring. It is also recognized by regulatory bodies such as the European Unions Environmental Agency (EEA) and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Test Conditions and Methodology
The ISO 11277 test involves several steps:
1. Sample preparation: Soil samples are collected, dried, and ground to a uniform size to ensure consistent results.
2. Combustion: The soil sample is combusted in an oven at high temperatures (typically between 600C to 1000C) for a specified period (usually 30 minutes).
3. Gas analysis: The resulting gases are analyzed using a gas chromatograph or mass spectrometer to determine the carbon dioxide content.
4. Data analysis: The concentration of organic carbon is calculated using a calibration curve or reference material.
