Comprehensive Guide to ISO 11464 Sample Pretreatment for Sediment and Sludge Analysis Testing Services

ISO 11464 is an international standard that specifies the requirements for sample pretreatment for sediment and sludge analysis in laboratories. This standard is part of a series of standards developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) to ensure consistency and comparability of test results across different laboratories.

The ISO 11464 standard is based on several other relevant standards, including:

  • ISO 5667-1:2016 Water quality - Sampling - Part 1: Guidance on the design of sampling programs

  • ISO 5667-2:2012 Water quality - Sampling - Part 2: Guidance on sampling techniques

  • ISO 19005-3:2020 Document management Portable document format (PDF) Part 3: Extended features for PDF

    • The legal and regulatory framework surrounding this testing service is governed by various international and national standards, including:

  • EU Directive 2004/42/EC on the requirements for sampling and sample pretreatment for water, wastewater, and sludge analysis

  • US EPA Guidelines for Water and Wastewater Sampling (EPA-600/R-99-016)

  • Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME) Guidelines for Water Quality Monitoring

    • Eurolab is committed to adhering to these standards and regulations to ensure that our testing services meet the highest levels of quality, accuracy, and consistency.
