ISO 5667-10 Sampling of Groundwater for Quality TestingComprehensive Guide to ISO 5667-10 Sampling of Groundwater for Quality Testing Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab
ISO 5667-10 is an international standard that specifies the requirements for sampling groundwater for quality testing. This standard is developed and maintained by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in collaboration with other organizations such as the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), European Committee for Standardization (CEN), and Turkish Standards Institution (TSE).
Legal and Regulatory Framework
The legal and regulatory framework surrounding ISO 5667-10 is governed by various national and international regulations. For example, in the United States, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates groundwater quality under the Safe Drinking Water Act. In Europe, the European Unions Water Framework Directive sets out the requirements for protecting and improving the quality of water resources.
International and National Standards
The following standards are relevant to ISO 5667-10:
Standard Development Organizations
ISO is responsible for developing and maintaining international standards. Other organizations, such as ASTM and CEN, also contribute to standard development in their respective regions.
Evolution of Standards
Standards evolve over time to reflect changes in technology, regulations, and best practices. For example, ISO 5667-10 was first published in 1995 and has since undergone several revisions to incorporate new requirements and testing methods.
Standard Compliance Requirements
Compliance with ISO 5667-10 is mandatory for laboratories that perform groundwater sampling and quality testing. Failure to comply can result in non-conformity to regulatory requirements, damage to reputation, and loss of business.
Industries Requiring This Testing
Groundwater sampling and quality testing are essential for various industries, including:
Risk Factors and Safety Implications
