Comprehensive Guide to ISO 22157 Sampling of Soil for Contamination Testing Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

ISO 22157:2017 is the international standard for sampling of soil for contamination testing, published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). This standard provides guidelines and procedures for collecting representative samples of soil from various environments, including contaminated sites, industrial areas, and agricultural land.

The legal and regulatory framework surrounding this testing service is governed by national and international regulations. In the European Union, for instance, the Soil Framework Directive (2004/37/EC) and the Environmental Liability Directive (2004/35/EC) set out the requirements for soil protection and remediation. Similarly, in the United States, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) regulate contaminated sites.

International standards that apply to this specific laboratory test include:

  • ISO 22157:2017 Sampling of soil for contamination testing

  • EN 14232:2005 Soil quality Sampling for chemical analysis

  • ASTM D4970-07 Standard Practice for Sampling Soils and Creating Samples for Testing

    • Standard development organizations, such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), and the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), play a crucial role in developing and maintaining these standards. These organizations ensure that standards are up-to-date, relevant, and meet the needs of various industries.

    Standards evolve over time to reflect new technologies, regulations, and industry practices. Eurolab stays abreast of these developments to provide the most accurate and reliable testing services.

    ISO 22157 Sampling of Soil for Contamination Testing is a critical test that ensures the quality and safety of soil in various environments. This test is necessary due to the potential risks associated with contaminated soil, including:
