Comprehensive Guide to ISO 11868 Determination of Nickel in Water Testing Services by Eurolab

ISO 11868 is a laboratory testing standard that outlines the procedure for determining nickel in water samples. This standard is part of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) family of standards, which provides a framework for ensuring consistency and accuracy in testing and measurement.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The determination of nickel in water is regulated by various national and international authorities, including the European Unions Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC), the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the World Health Organization (WHO). These regulations require laboratories to follow standardized methods for testing water samples.

International and National Standards

ISO 11868 is based on several national and international standards, including:

  • ISO 11046:1993 - Water quality -- Determination of nickel

  • EN 14034-2:2004 - Water quality -- Determination of metals and metalloids -- Part 2: Nickel

  • TSE (Turkish Standards Institution) 1429:2015 - Water quality -- Determination of nickel

    • These standards outline the methods for sampling, sample preparation, testing, and reporting.

    Standard Development Organizations

    Standard development organizations such as ISO, ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials), EN (European Committee for Standardization), and TSE play a crucial role in developing and maintaining laboratory testing standards. These organizations collaborate with experts from around the world to develop and update standards that reflect the latest scientific knowledge and technological advancements.

    Evolution of Standards

    Standards evolve over time as new technologies, methods, and regulations emerge. Eurolab adheres to these updates and ensures that our testing services comply with the most recent versions of relevant standards.
