ISO 5667-3 Water Sampling Part 3: Preservation and Handling of Samples Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

Standard-Related Information

ISO 5667-3 is a widely recognized international standard that governs the preservation and handling of water samples for laboratory testing. The standard is published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and is part of the ISO 5667 series, which covers various aspects of water sampling.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The legal and regulatory framework surrounding ISO 5667-3 testing is based on national and international regulations. In many countries, government agencies responsible for environmental protection and public health have adopted or referenced ISO 5667-3 as a mandatory requirement for water sampling. For example, the European Unions Drinking Water Directive (98/83/EC) references ISO 5667-3 for the preservation and handling of water samples.

International and National Standards

The following international and national standards apply to ISO 5667-3 testing:

  • ISO 5667-1:1998(E): Water quality -- Sampling -- Part 1: Guidance on the design of sampling programs

  • ISO 5667-2:2006(E): Water quality -- Sampling -- Part 2: Guidelines for the preservation and handling of water samples

  • ASTM D7345-08: Standard Practice for Field Collection of Water Samples by Grab Sampling Using a Container Filled to a Specific Volume

  • EN 12999:2014A1:2018: Water quality Sampling Part 3: Preservation and handling of samples

    • Standard Development Organizations

    The development and maintenance of ISO 5667-3 are overseen by the following standard development organizations:

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO)

  • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)

  • European Committee for Standardization (CEN)

    • These organizations collaborate to ensure that standards such as ISO 5667-3 remain up-to-date, relevant, and effective in meeting the needs of industries and governments worldwide.

    • Consequences of Not Performing ISO 5667-3 Testing

    The consequences of not performing ISO 5667-3 testing can be severe:

  • Accurate data is compromised, leading to costly re-testing or remediation efforts

  • Reputational damage occurs due to non-compliance with regulations

  • Environmental and public health risks are increased

    • Industries and Sectors that Require This Testing

    The following industries and sectors require ISO 5667-3 testing:

  • Water treatment plants

  • Drinking water suppliers

  • Industrial facilities using water for cooling or processing

  • Government agencies responsible for environmental protection

    • Risk Factors and Safety Implications

    The risk factors associated with non-compliance to ISO 5667-3 include:

  • Accidental contamination of samples

  • Sample deterioration during transportation or storage

  • Inaccurate or unreliable data leading to costly consequences

  • Reputational damage due to non-compliance with regulations

    • Quality Assurance and Quality Control Aspects

    Eurolabs quality assurance and control measures ensure that ISO 5667-3 testing is performed according to strict protocols:

  • Qualified and certified personnel conduct testing

  • State-of-the-art equipment and facilities are used

  • Regular calibration and validation of equipment occur

  • Data collection and recording procedures are strictly followed

    • Test Conditions and Methodology

    The following detailed step-by-step explanation outlines the test conditions and methodology for ISO 5667-3:

    1. Sample Collection: Samples are collected using grab sampling or other approved methods.

    2. Sample Preservation: Samples are preserved according to ISO 5667-2 guidelines, including storage in leak-proof containers filled to a specific volume.

    3. Transportation and Storage: Samples are transported and stored under controlled conditions to prevent contamination and sample deterioration.

    4. Testing: Testing is performed using approved methods and equipment.

    Test Requirements

    The following test requirements must be met for ISO 5667-3:

  • Sampling methods are scientifically valid and reliable

  • Sample preservation and handling procedures are followed according to ISO 5667-2 guidelines

  • Equipment used for testing is calibrated and validated regularly

    • Conclusion

    ISO 5667-3 is a critical standard that ensures the accuracy and reliability of water sampling results. Eurolabs experienced professionals and state-of-the-art facilities guarantee compliance with national and international regulations. Non-compliance can lead to costly consequences, including reputational damage and environmental and public health risks.
