ISO 5667-13 Sampling Protocols for Wastewater Effluents Testing Services

ISO 5667-13 is a widely accepted standard for the sampling of wastewater effluents, developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in collaboration with various national and international organizations. This standard provides guidelines for the collection of representative samples from wastewater treatment plants and other sources, ensuring that the samples are suitable for laboratory analysis.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The legal and regulatory framework surrounding ISO 5667-13 is governed by a multitude of national and international regulations. In the European Union (EU), for example, Directive 2000/60/EC on the Water Framework Directive sets out the requirements for wastewater treatment and sampling. Similarly, in the United States, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates wastewater effluent discharges under the Clean Water Act.

International and National Standards

ISO 5667-13 is part of a broader series of standards related to water quality sampling, including ISO 5667-1:2016, ISO 5667-2:2016, and ISO 5667-3:2018. These standards are widely adopted by countries around the world and provide a framework for ensuring consistency and comparability in wastewater effluent sampling.

Standard Development Organizations

The development of ISO 5667-13 involved collaboration between several standard development organizations, including:

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO)

  • European Committee for Standardization (CEN)

  • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)

  • Technical Committee on Water Quality (TC WQ)

    • Standard Evolution and Updates

    Standards like ISO 5667-13 are constantly evolving to reflect changes in technology, regulations, and industry practices. This standard has undergone several revisions since its initial publication in 2003, with the most recent update being published in 2019.
