Comprehensive Guide to ISO 11464 Pretreatment of Hazardous Waste Samples Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

The ISO 11464 standard is a widely recognized and adopted international standard for the pretreatment of hazardous waste samples. This standard provides guidelines for the preparation, transportation, and storage of hazardous waste samples to ensure their integrity and safety during testing.

International Standards Governing ISO 11464

  • ISO 11464:2017 (Pretreatment of Hazardous Waste Samples)

  • ASTM D6511-17 (Standard Practice for Sampling of Contaminated Soils for Environmental Testing)

  • EN 14038-2:2003A1:2008 (Soil and waste. General guidance on the sampling of soil and waste)

    • Legal and Regulatory Framework

    The ISO 11464 standard is aligned with various national and international regulations, including:

  • European Unions Waste Framework Directive (2008/98/EC)

  • US Environmental Protection Agencys (EPA) Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 14001:2015 (Environmental Management Systems)

    • Standard Development Organizations

    The ISO 11464 standard was developed by the ISO Technical Committee 190 (Soil Quality), which includes representatives from national standards bodies, industry experts, and regulatory agencies.

    Evolution of Standards

    Standards evolve over time to reflect changes in technology, regulations, and best practices. The ISO 11464 standard has undergone several revisions since its initial publication in 1997.
