ISO 5667-37 Sampling for Particulate Matter in Wastewater: Eurolabs Laboratory Testing Service

ISO 5667-37 is a globally recognized standard that governs the sampling of particulate matter in wastewater. This standard, published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), provides guidelines for the collection and preparation of wastewater samples for the determination of particulate matter.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The legal and regulatory framework surrounding ISO 5667-37 is governed by various international and national standards. In the European Union, for example, the standard is harmonized with EN 12234, which specifies the requirements for the sampling of particulate matter in wastewater. Similarly, in the United States, the standard is aligned with ASTM D6413, which provides guidelines for the collection and preparation of wastewater samples.

International and National Standards

The following international and national standards apply to ISO 5667-37:

  • ISO 5667-37:2016 (International Organization for Standardization)

  • EN 12234:2004 (European Committee for Standardization)

  • ASTM D6413-17 (American Society for Testing and Materials)

  • TSE 234:2011 (Turkish Standards Institution)

    • Standard Development Organizations

    The development of ISO 5667-37 is coordinated by the Technical Committee 120, Wastewater treatment plants, of the International Organization for Standardization. The committee consists of experts from various countries who contribute to the development and revision of the standard.

    Evolution and Update of Standards

    Standards evolve over time due to advancements in technology, changes in regulatory requirements, or new scientific knowledge. ISO 5667-37 has undergone several revisions since its initial publication in 2003. The latest version, published in 2016, includes updates to the sampling procedures and guidelines for the determination of particulate matter.
