ISO 15190 Quantification of Heavy Metals in Agricultural Soil Testing Service: A Comprehensive Guide

ISO 15190 is an international standard that specifies the requirements for the quantification of heavy metals in agricultural soil. The standard is published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and is widely adopted across the globe.

Legal and Regulatory Framework Surrounding this Testing Service

The testing service provided under ISO 15190 is governed by various national and international regulations. Some of the key regulations include:

  • European Unions Environmental Liability Directive (2004/35/EC)
  • Council Regulation (EEC) No 3159/93 on heavy metal pollution in soil
  • United States Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)
  • Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA)
  • These regulations set forth specific requirements for the testing of heavy metals in agricultural soil, including sample collection, preservation, and analysis.

    International and National Standards Applicable to this Specific Laboratory Test

    Some of the key standards applicable to ISO 15190 include:

  • ISO 5667-1: Water quality - Sampling - Part 1: Guidance on the design of sampling programmes
  • ISO 11047: Soil quality - Sampling techniques
  • ISO/TS 17289: Soil quality - Laboratory determination of selected metals and metalloids by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS)
  • ASTM D1972-13: Standard Practice for Extraction and Chemical Analysis of Heavy Metals in Contaminated Soils
  • Standard Development Organizations and Their Role

    Standard development organizations, such as ISO, play a crucial role in developing and maintaining standards for laboratory testing. These organizations bring together experts from various fields to develop consensus-based standards that are widely adopted across the globe.

    ISO 15190 is required by regulatory authorities, industries, and businesses to ensure the safety of agricultural soil and prevent contamination. The test is essential for:

  • Ensuring compliance with environmental regulations
  • Detecting heavy metal pollution in agricultural soil
  • Providing data for risk assessment and management
  • Supporting sustainable agriculture practices
  • Meeting customer requirements
  • Business and Technical Reasons for Conducting ISO 15190 Testing

    Conducting ISO 15190 testing provides several business benefits, including:

  • Ensuring compliance with regulations and industry standards
  • Preventing contamination and environmental damage
  • Protecting public health and safety
  • Enhancing brand reputation and customer trust
  • Supporting sustainable agriculture practices
  • ISO 15190 testing involves the following steps:

    1. Sample collection: Soil samples are collected from the field using a sample collector.

    2. Sample preservation: Samples are preserved in airtight containers to prevent contamination.

    3. Sample preparation: Samples are prepared for analysis by drying and grinding.

    4. Analysis: Heavy metals are analyzed using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).

    5. Calibration and validation: Instruments are calibrated and validated before use.

    Test results are reported in a comprehensive report that includes:

  • Sample identification
  • Test methodology
  • Results of analysis
  • Certificates of compliance
  • Traceability data
  • Reports are issued in electronic format, and customers can access their reports online.

    Performing ISO 15190 testing provides numerous benefits, including:

  • Ensuring compliance with regulations and industry standards
  • Detecting heavy metal pollution in agricultural soil
  • Providing data for risk assessment and management
  • Supporting sustainable agriculture practices
  • Enhancing brand reputation and customer trust
  • Eurolab has the expertise, experience, and state-of-the-art equipment to provide high-quality ISO 15190 testing services. Our laboratory is accredited by national and international accreditation bodies, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.
