Comprehensive Guide to ISO 15997 Particulate Matter Measurement Laboratory Testing Service

Provided by Eurolab

ISO 15997 is a widely recognized standard for the measurement of particulate matter in various industries, including environmental monitoring, air quality assessment, and industrial hygiene. This standard provides a framework for laboratory testing to ensure accurate and reliable results.

Overview of Relevant Standards

  • ISO 15997:2017(E) - Particulate matter measurement - Determination of mass concentration using the filter method
  • ASTM D7431-12 (2018) - Standard Test Method for Determining Filterability of Particle Matter Using a Single Air Flow Rate and a Constant Pressure Drop Across the Filter
  • EN 14626:2005 - Air quality - Determination of particulate matter (PM10) concentration in ambient air using filter-based sampling
  • TSE 6112:2018 - Ambient Air Quality - Particulate Matter (PM10) Measurement Using Filter-Based Sampling
  • These standards provide guidelines for laboratory testing, including sample preparation, measurement and analysis methods, and quality control measures.

    Legal and Regulatory Framework

    The ISO 15997 standard is widely adopted by regulatory agencies worldwide, such as the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the European Unions (EU) Clean Air Act, and the World Health Organization (WHO). Compliance with this standard ensures that laboratories produce accurate results, which are essential for maintaining environmental quality standards.

    International and National Standards

    Eurolab adheres to international standards, including ISO 9001:2015, ISO/IEC 17025:2017, and ISO 15189:2012. Our laboratory is also accredited by national accreditation bodies, such as the Turkish Accreditation Agency (TÜRKAK) in accordance with ISO/IEC 17065:2012.

    Standard Development Organizations

    Standards development organizations (SDOs), such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), and European Committee for Standardization (CEN), play a crucial role in establishing standards. Their efforts ensure that laboratory testing is consistent, reliable, and comparable worldwide.

    Evolution of Standards

    Standards evolve to reflect advances in technology, scientific knowledge, and regulatory requirements. New versions of standards are released periodically to incorporate updates, ensuring that laboratories remain compliant with the latest industry practices.
