Comprehensive Guide to ISO 19250 Salmonella Detection in Drinking and Recreational Waters Testing Services Provided by Eurolab

ISO 19250 is an international standard that governs the detection of Salmonella in drinking and recreational waters. This standard is developed and maintained by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) through its Technical Committee 204: Water quality.

The ISO 19250 standard provides a framework for laboratories to perform reliable and accurate testing for Salmonella in water samples. The standard covers all aspects of the test, including sampling, sample preparation, testing procedures, and reporting requirements.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The detection of Salmonella in drinking and recreational waters is regulated by various national and international laws and regulations. In the European Union, for example, the Drinking Water Directive (98/83/EC) requires member states to ensure that drinking water meets certain quality standards, including limits on microbiological contaminants such as Salmonella.

In the United States, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established guidelines for safe levels of microorganisms in recreational waters under the Safe Drinking Water Act.

International and National Standards

The ISO 19250 standard is one of several international standards that govern water quality testing. Other relevant standards include:

  • ISO 9308-2:2007, Microbiology of the water intended for human consumption - Part 2: General guidance on the enumeration of microorganisms

  • ISO 4831:2013, Microbiology of the food chain - Horizontal method for the detection and enumeration of Salmonella in animal feed, pet food, and other non-petroleum-based animal feeding stuffs

  • EN 12904:2005A1:2010, Water quality - Detection and enumeration of Salmonella in water intended for human consumption

    • Standard Development Organizations

    The ISO 19250 standard is developed and maintained by the Technical Committee 204: Water quality. This committee consists of experts from various countries who contribute to the development and revision of standards related to water quality.

    Other organizations involved in the development of standards related to water quality include:

  • International Association for Consulting Lawn Care Professionals (ICLCP)

  • American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)

  • National Sanitation Foundation International (NSF)

    • Standard Evolution and Updates

    Standards evolve and get updated regularly to reflect changes in technology, science, and regulatory requirements. The ISO 19250 standard is no exception.

    Recent updates to the standard include:

  • Revision of sampling procedures to improve accuracy and reliability

  • Introduction of new testing methods for detecting Salmonella in water samples

  • Update of reporting requirements to align with international standards

    • Specific Standard Numbers and Scope

    The following are specific standard numbers and their scope related to ISO 19250:
