ISO 13843 Methods for Pathogen Recovery Laboratory Testing Service: A Comprehensive Guide

Overview of ISO 13843 Methods for Pathogen Recovery

The ISO 13843 standard provides methods for the recovery of pathogenic microorganisms from water, soil, and other environmental samples. This standard is essential for ensuring the safety of drinking water, preventing waterborne diseases, and protecting public health.

Relevant Standards and Regulatory Framework

  • ISO 13843:2020: This is the current edition of the standard, which was published in 2020.

  • ASTM E1547-14: This American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standard provides methods for the recovery of pathogenic microorganisms from water samples.

  • EN ISO 13843:2015: This European standard is a harmonized version of the ISO 13843 standard, which was published in 2015.

    • Legal and Regulatory Compliance

    The ISO 13843 standard is referenced in various national and international regulations, including:

  • The World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines for drinking-water quality.

  • The European Unions Drinking Water Directive (98/83/EC).

  • The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations for safe drinking water.

    • International and National Standards

    The ISO 13843 standard is developed by the Technical Committee ISO/TC 48, which is responsible for developing standards related to water quality. The standard is widely adopted globally, with many countries having their own national standards based on the ISO 13843 standard.

    Standard Development Organizations

    The development of standards like ISO 13843 involves collaboration among various stakeholders, including:

  • National Standards Bodies (NSBs)

  • International Standards Bodies (ISBs)

  • Technical Committees

  • Expert Groups

    • These organizations work together to ensure that the standards are developed and updated in a fair, transparent, and inclusive manner.

    Evolution of Standards

    Standards like ISO 13843 undergo regular revisions to reflect changes in technology, scientific understanding, and regulatory requirements. The revision process involves:

  • Review of existing standards

  • Identification of gaps or inconsistencies

  • Development of new methods or procedures

  • Pilot testing and validation

  • Finalization and publication

    • Standard Numbers and Scope

    The ISO 13843 standard is a family of standards that cover different aspects of pathogen recovery, including:

  • ISO 13843-1:2020: General principles for the recovery of pathogenic microorganisms from water samples.

  • ISO 13843-2:2020: Methods for the recovery of Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Enterococcus spp. from water samples.

  • ISO 13843-3:2020: Methods for the recovery of Campylobacter spp. from water samples.

    • Each standard has its own scope, requirements, and methods for pathogen recovery.

    Standard Compliance Requirements

    Compliance with ISO 13843 standards is mandatory for laboratories and organizations involved in testing for pathogenic microorganisms. Non-compliance can result in:

  • Rejection of test results

  • Loss of accreditation or certification

  • Fines or penalties

  • Damage to reputation and credibility
