Complete Guide to ISO 5667-22 Sampling of Volatile Organic Compounds Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

ISO 5667-22 is an international standard that outlines the requirements for sampling volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in water and wastewater. The standard is part of the ISO 5667 series, which covers laboratory testing and sampling of water and wastewater.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The legal and regulatory framework surrounding VOC sampling is governed by various national and international standards. In Europe, the European Unions Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC) sets out the requirements for sampling and analysis of water and wastewater. The directive requires member states to implement measures to protect surface and groundwater from pollution.

In addition to EU regulations, VOC sampling is also governed by various national standards, such as the US Environmental Protection Agencys (EPA) National Primary Drinking Water Regulations (40 CFR 141). These regulations set out specific requirements for VOCs in drinking water.

International and National Standards

The following international and national standards apply to VOC sampling:

  • ISO 5667-22:2012

  • ASTM D5843-13: Standard Practice for Static Test of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) Emissions from Building Materials/Products

  • EN 16516:2014A1:2018: Characterization of waste. Leaching. Estimation of the toxicity of leachate in a fixed-bed reactor

  • TSE ISO 5667-22:2020 (Turkish Standard)

    • Standard Development Organizations

    The development and maintenance of international standards are carried out by standard development organizations, such as:

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO)

  • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)

  • European Committee for Standardization (CEN)

  • Turkish Standards Institution (TSE)

    • These organizations work together to develop and maintain international standards that ensure consistency and comparability of test results.

    Evolution of Standards

    Standards evolve over time as new technologies and methodologies emerge. The revision process involves revising existing standards or developing new ones to reflect changing requirements. Eurolab participates in this evolution by staying up-to-date with the latest developments and incorporating them into our testing services.

    Standard Numbers and Scope

    The following standard numbers and scopes apply to VOC sampling:

  • ISO 5667-22:2012 - Water quality - Sampling - Part 22: Guidance on the sampling of volatile organic compounds (VOCs)

  • ASTM D5843-13 - Standard Practice for Static Test of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) Emissions from Building Materials/Products

    • Standard Compliance Requirements

    Different industries have varying standard compliance requirements. For example:

  • Drinking water treatment plants must comply with the EUs Water Framework Directive and national regulations.

  • Industrial facilities must comply with national and international regulations, such as the US EPAs National Primary Drinking Water Regulations.

  • Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS)

  • Headspace gas analysis

    • Laboratory Testing Methods

    Eurolabs laboratory is equipped with the latest technology to detect VOCs in water and wastewater. Our testing methods include:

  • Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS): This method separates and identifies VOCs based on their boiling points and mass-to-charge ratios.

  • Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS): This method separates and identifies VOCs based on their affinity for a stationary phase and mass-to-charge ratios.

  • Headspace Gas Analysis: This method involves collecting headspace gas from water or wastewater samples and analyzing it using GC-MS.

    • Data Interpretation and Reporting

    Eurolab provides detailed reports of VOC sampling results, including:

  • Concentration levels

  • Detection limits

  • Method detection limits (MDLs)

  • Reporting limits

    • We also offer data interpretation services to help clients understand their results and implement corrective actions.
