ISO 5667-39 Wastewater Sampling for Industrial Effluents Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

ISO 5667-39 is a standard that outlines the requirements for wastewater sampling for industrial effluents. This standard is part of the ISO 5667 series, which provides guidelines for water and wastewater sampling. The ISO 5667-39 standard specifies the methods and procedures for collecting and handling wastewater samples from industrial sources.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The ISO 5667-39 standard is developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and published in multiple languages. It is widely recognized and adopted globally, with many countries incorporating its requirements into their national laws and regulations. In Europe, the standard is harmonized with the European Unions (EU) directives on environmental protection.

International and National Standards

The ISO 5667-39 standard is part of a larger family of international standards for water and wastewater sampling. These include:

  • ISO 5667-1: Water quality Sampling Part 1: General information

  • ISO 5667-2: Water quality Sampling Part 2: Guidance on sampling techniques

  • ISO 5667-3: Water quality Sampling Part 3: Specific information related to the determination of certain parameters

    • At the national level, many countries have adopted or referenced these international standards in their own regulations. For example:

  • In the United States, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires compliance with ISO 5667-39 for wastewater sampling from industrial sources.

  • In Europe, the EUs Water Framework Directive (WFD) and Industrial Emissions Directive (IED) require adherence to ISO 5667-39 standards.

    • Standard Development Organizations

    The development of international standards like ISO 5667-39 involves collaboration between national standardization bodies, industry experts, and regulatory agencies. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is the primary organization responsible for developing and maintaining these standards.

    Evolution of Standards

    Standards evolve over time to reflect changes in technology, regulations, or scientific understanding. ISO 5667-39 has undergone several revisions since its initial publication in 2003. The latest version (2015) includes updates on sampling techniques, equipment requirements, and analytical methods.

    Specific Standard Numbers and Scope

    The ISO 5667-39 standard has the following structure:

  • ISO 5667-39:2015

    • Clause 1: General information

    Clause 2: Sampling objectives and considerations

    Clause 3: Equipment and materials requirements

    Clause 4: Sampling techniques

    Annex A: Guidance on sampling equipment calibration

    The standard applies to wastewater sampling from industrial sources, including chemical, pharmaceutical, and manufacturing industries.

    Standard Compliance Requirements

    Industry sectors that require compliance with ISO 5667-39 include:

  • Chemical manufacturing

  • Pharmaceutical industry

  • Textile and dyeing processes

  • Food processing and packaging

  • Oil and gas production

    • Consequences of non-compliance may result in fines, penalties, or even plant shutdowns.

    Why ISO 5667-39 is Needed and Required

    Wastewater sampling from industrial effluents is critical to ensure compliance with environmental regulations. The ISO 5667-39 standard provides a framework for collecting representative samples that accurately reflect the wastewater characteristics.

    Business and Technical Reasons for Conducting Testing

    Industry sectors rely on accurate wastewater sampling data to:

  • Ensure compliance with regulations

  • Optimize treatment processes

  • Minimize environmental impacts

  • Improve product quality

    • Consequences of not performing this test include:

  • Regulatory non-compliance

  • Inadequate treatment process optimization

  • Environmental damage and fines

  • Loss of business reputation and revenue

    • Industries and Sectors that Require This Testing

    The following industries require compliance with ISO 5667-39 standards:

  • Chemical manufacturing (e.g., petrochemicals, plastics)

  • Pharmaceutical industry (e.g., active pharmaceutical ingredients, APIs)

  • Textile and dyeing processes

  • Food processing and packaging

  • Oil and gas production

    • Risk Factors and Safety Implications

    Wastewater sampling from industrial effluents poses risks to the environment, human health, and worker safety. ISO 5667-39 provides guidelines for minimizing these risks through proper sampling techniques, equipment calibration, and handling procedures.

    Quality Assurance and Quality Control Aspects

    ISO 5667-39 emphasizes the importance of quality control measures during wastewater sampling, including:

  • Sample preparation and preservation

  • Equipment calibration and maintenance

  • Analytical method validation and verification

    • Conducting ISO 5667-39 Wastewater Sampling

    The following steps outline the process for conducting ISO 5667-39 wastewater sampling:

    1. Pre-sampling planning: Identify sampling objectives, sample types, and analytical methods.

    2. Equipment preparation: Calibrate sampling equipment according to manufacturers instructions.

    3. Sampling techniques: Implement proper sampling techniques (e.g., grab sampling, composite sampling).

    4. Sample handling and preservation: Store samples in suitable containers with preservatives as needed.

    5. Analytical method validation and verification: Validate and verify analytical methods using certified reference materials.

    Reporting and Documentation

    All sampling activities must be documented, including:

  • Sampling schedule

  • Sample collection records

  • Analytical results

  • Quality control data

    • Reporting Requirements

    Industry sectors that require compliance with ISO 5667-39 standards include:

  • Chemical manufacturing (e.g., petrochemicals, plastics)

  • Pharmaceutical industry (e.g., active pharmaceutical ingredients, APIs)

  • Textile and dyeing processes

  • Food processing and packaging

  • Oil and gas production

    • Reporting requirements may vary depending on regulatory requirements.
