ISO 11885 ICP-OES for Multi-element Analysis

Comprehensive Guide to ISO 11885 ICP-OES for Multi-Element Analysis Testing Services by Eurolab

ISO 11885 is an internationally recognized standard for Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES) testing, specifically designed for multi-element analysis. This standard provides guidelines for the evaluation of the performance and calibration of ICP-OES instruments.

International Standards

Standard Development Organizations

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies from over 160 countries. ISO is responsible for developing, publishing, and maintaining international standards.

The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) is an organization that develops and publishes voluntary consensus technical standards for a wide range of materials, products, systems, and services.

Standard Evolution and Updates

Standards are continuously reviewed and updated to reflect changes in technology, science, and industry practices. This ensures that the standards remain relevant and effective.

International and National Standards

International standards (e.g., ISO 11885) provide a framework for laboratories worldwide to ensure consistency and comparability of test results. National standards (e.g., EN 15441) are specific to individual countries or regions, providing additional requirements or modifications to the international standard.
