Comprehensive Guide to ISO 5667-6 Water Sampling Guidance on Sampling Techniques Laboratory Testing Service by Eurolab

ISO 5667-6 is a standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that provides guidance on sampling techniques for water quality testing. The standard is part of the ISO 5667 series, which covers various aspects of water sampling.

The standard ISO 5667-6 was first published in 1995 and has undergone several revisions since then. The current version, ISO 5667-6:2020, was published in February 2020. This standard is a harmonized standard, meaning that it has been adopted by many countries as their national standard.

The standard provides guidance on the following aspects of water sampling:

  • Sampling objectives and requirements

  • Sampling methods and techniques

  • Sample collection and preservation

  • Transportation and storage of samples

  • Quality control and quality assurance

    • Legal and Regulatory Framework

    The legal and regulatory framework surrounding ISO 5667-6 is primarily governed by national regulations and laws. In the European Union, for example, the standard is referenced in the Drinking Water Directive (98/83/EC) and the Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC).

    In the United States, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has adopted ISO 5667-6 as a guideline for water sampling. The EPA requires that all water samples collected for analysis must be in compliance with the standard.

    International and National Standards

    The following international and national standards apply to ISO 5667-6:

  • ISO 5667-1:2018 Water quality Sampling Part 1: Guidance on the design of sampling programmes

    Step-by-Step Explanation of the Test

    The following is a step-by-step explanation of the ISO 5667-6 testing process:

    1. Sampling Plan Development: Develop a sampling plan that outlines the objectives, requirements, and procedures for sampling.

    2. Sample Collection: Collect samples using the specified methods (e.g., grab sampling or composite sampling).

    3. Sample Preservation: Preserve the samples according to the standards guidelines (e.g., refrigeration or stabilization with preservatives).

    4. Transportation and Storage of Samples: Transport and store the samples according to the standards guidelines.

    5. Data Validation and Verification: Validate and verify the data collected from sampling.

    Sampling Methods

    The standard specifies various sampling methods, including:

  • Grab sampling

  • Composite sampling

  • Time-weighted average (TWA) sampling

    • Each method has its unique requirements and procedures.
