ISO 15587-3 Analysis of Lead in Water Laboratory Testing Service: A Comprehensive Guide

The ISO 15587-3 standard is a widely recognized international standard for the analysis of lead in water. This standard is developed and maintained by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) through its Technical Committee (TC) 242, Water Quality.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The testing service provided by Eurolab complies with various national and international standards and regulations. The following are some of the key standards and regulations that govern this testing service:

  • ISO/TS 19001:2017: This standard specifies the general requirements for laboratories conducting water quality analysis, including lead in water.

  • EN 14918-3:2009: This European Standard specifies the methods for the determination of lead in drinking water by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) and electrothermal atomization atomic absorption spectrometry (ETA AAS).

  • ASTM D7346-13: This American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standard describes the test method for the analysis of lead in water using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP MS).

    • Standard Development Organizations

    The ISO 15587-3 standard is developed and maintained by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The ISO is a non-profit, non-governmental organization that develops and publishes international standards for various industries.

    The following are some of the key steps involved in the development of an ISO standard:

    1. Proposal submission: A proposer submits a proposal to the relevant technical committee (TC) outlining the need for a new standard.

    2. Drafting committee formation: If the proposal is accepted, a drafting committee is formed to develop the draft standard.

    3. Public review and comment: The draft standard is published for public review and comment.

    4. Vote by member bodies: The draft standard is then voted on by the ISO member bodies.

    5. Publication as an international standard: If the vote is favorable, the standard is published as an international standard.

    Standard Compliance Requirements

    Compliance with the ISO 15587-3 standard is required for laboratories that conduct water quality analysis, including lead in water. The following are some of the key compliance requirements:

  • Calibration and validation: Laboratories must ensure that their equipment is calibrated and validated according to the relevant standards.

  • Sample preparation: Laboratories must follow the relevant sample preparation procedures outlined in the standard.

  • Data collection and reporting: Laboratories must collect and report data according to the relevant standards.
