ISO 5667-13 Guidance on Sampling for Cyanobacteria and Algae Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

ISO 5667-13 is a guidance standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that provides guidelines for sampling water bodies to detect and quantify cyanobacteria and algae. This standard is part of the ISO 5667 series, which focuses on water quality sampling.

The legal and regulatory framework surrounding this testing service is governed by various national and international standards. In the European Union, for example, the Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC) requires member states to establish a framework for assessing the quality of surface waters, including monitoring for cyanobacteria and algae.

Internationally, the ISO 5667-13 standard is widely adopted and recognized as the reference standard for sampling water bodies for cyanobacteria and algae. The World Health Organization (WHO) also recommends this standard as a guideline for national authorities to establish their own standards.

The development of ISO 5667-13 was a collaborative effort between experts from around the world, representing various industries and stakeholders. The standard is reviewed and updated periodically by technical committees and working groups.

ISO 5667-13 Guidance on Sampling for Cyanobacteria and Algae testing is essential for ensuring the safety of water resources and protecting public health. Cyanobacteria and algae can produce toxins that are harmful to humans and animals, making it crucial to monitor their presence in water bodies.

The test is required by various industries, including:

  • Water utilities

  • Municipalities

  • Industrial facilities

  • Agricultural organizations

    • Failure to conduct this test can result in the release of toxic substances into water bodies, posing a risk to public health and safety. This standard also contributes to product safety and reliability, ensuring that water treatment processes are effective and efficient.

    Quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) aspects are critical when conducting ISO 5667-13 testing. Eurolabs laboratory is accredited to this standard, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of test results.

    The ISO 5667-13 Guidance on Sampling for Cyanobacteria and Algae testing involves several steps:

    1. Sampling: Water samples are collected from water bodies using appropriate equipment.

    2. Sample Preparation: Samples are processed to extract DNA, which is then analyzed using molecular techniques (e.g., PCR).

    3. Analysis: The extracted DNA is amplified and detected using specific primers and probes.

    4. Data Analysis: The test results are analyzed using specialized software.

    Eurolabs laboratory uses state-of-the-art equipment and follows strict QA/QC procedures to ensure the accuracy of test results.

    The test report includes:
