ISO 11464 Soil Sample Preparation for Contaminant Analysis: Eurolabs Laboratory Testing Services

ISO 11464 is an international standard that governs the preparation of soil samples for contaminant analysis in laboratories. The standard is developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and is widely adopted globally. In this section, we will provide comprehensive information about the relevant standards, legal and regulatory framework, and standard development organizations.

Relevant Standards

These standards specify the procedures for preparing soil samples for contaminant analysis, including sampling methods, sample handling, and preparation techniques. The standard requirements and needs are explained in detail below.

Standard Development Organizations

ISO is a global organization that develops and publishes international standards for various industries. ISO 11464 was developed by Technical Committee 190 (TC 190) - Soil quality, which is responsible for developing standards related to soil quality.

International and National Standards

The standard is applicable globally and can be adopted by countries as national standards. In Turkey, the Turkish Standards Institution (TSE) has adopted ISO 11464 as a national standard (TSE 679).

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The standard is developed in response to the growing concern about soil contamination and the need for accurate laboratory testing. Governments and regulatory agencies worldwide have implemented regulations and guidelines that require laboratories to follow specific standards for contaminant analysis.

Standard Compliance Requirements for Different Industries

Various industries, including construction, mining, and environmental monitoring, require compliance with ISO 11464 for contaminant analysis. Non-compliance can result in significant penalties and fines.
