ISO 5667-34 Sampling for Microbial Pathogens in Wastewater: Laboratory Testing Services Provided by Eurolab

Standard-Related Information

The laboratory testing service provided by Eurolab is governed by the international standard ISO 5667-34, which specifies the sampling of microorganisms from wastewater. This standard is part of a larger series of standards that deal with water quality and sampling (ISO 5667). The standard is applicable to all types of wastewater, including domestic, industrial, and agricultural effluents.

In addition to ISO 5667-34, there are several other relevant international standards that govern the testing of microorganisms in wastewater. These include:

  • ISO 7899-7:1998 Water quality Determination of certain indices of biological activity Part 7: Determination of the carbonaceous biochemical oxygen demand (CBOD)
  • ISO 8192:2001 Water quality Detection and determination of certain bacteria in water by a membrane filter method
  • ASTM D4185-02 Standard Test Method for Determining the Effects of pH on the Microbial Growth in Wastewater
  • The standard development organizations involved in the creation and maintenance of these standards include:

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
  • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)
  • European Committee for Standardization (CEN)
  • These organizations play a crucial role in ensuring that standards are developed, maintained, and updated to reflect the latest scientific knowledge and technological advancements.

    Standard Requirements and Needs

    The testing of microorganisms in wastewater is essential for maintaining public health and preventing environmental pollution. The presence of microbial pathogens in wastewater can pose serious risks to human health, particularly in cases where the wastewater is used for irrigation or other purposes that may lead to direct contact with humans.

    Some of the key business and technical reasons for conducting ISO 5667-34 sampling include:

  • Compliance with regulations and standards
  • Protection of public health
  • Prevention of environmental pollution
  • Identification of sources of contamination
  • Evaluation of treatment efficiency
  • The consequences of not performing this test can be severe, including:

  • Public health risks due to the presence of microbial pathogens in wastewater
  • Environmental pollution through the release of untreated or inadequately treated wastewater into water bodies
  • Loss of business and reputation for companies that fail to comply with regulations and standards
  • Test Conditions and Methodology

    The testing process for ISO 5667-34 sampling involves several steps, including:

    1. Sample collection: Wastewater samples are collected from the treatment plant or other designated points.

    2. Sample preparation: The wastewater samples are prepared according to the standard requirements, which may involve filtering, diluting, and storing the samples at a specific temperature.

    3. Testing: The prepared samples are then tested using standardized methods, such as membrane filter techniques (MF) or most probable number (MPN).

    4. Analysis: The test results are analyzed to determine the presence of microbial pathogens.

    The testing equipment and instruments used for this purpose include:

  • Membrane filters with a pore size of 0.45 μm
  • Incubators at a temperature of 36C 1C
  • Pipettes and other laboratory equipment
  • The testing environment requirements include:

  • Temperature: 20C to 25C (68F to 77F)
  • Humidity: 50 to 60
  • Pressure: Standard atmospheric pressure
  • Test Reporting and Documentation

    The test results are documented in a standardized report format, which includes:

    1. Sample identification

    2. Test methods used

    3. Results of the analysis

    4. Conclusion and recommendations

    The reporting standards and formats for this testing service include:

  • ISO 16603:2015 Water quality Sampling for microbial pathogens
