ISO 6060 Chemical Oxygen Demand Determination Testing Services Provided by Eurolab

Standard-Related Information

ISO 6060 is a widely recognized international standard for determining the chemical oxygen demand (COD) of wastewater and other aqueous samples. The standard, published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), provides a method for measuring the amount of oxygen required to oxidize organic matter in a sample.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The ISO 6060 standard is often referenced in environmental regulations and guidelines worldwide. For instance, the European Unions Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC) requires member states to establish programs for monitoring water quality, including COD measurements. Similarly, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends using COD analysis as a tool for evaluating wastewater treatment plant performance.

International and National Standards

ISO 6060 is an international standard that has been adopted by many countries around the world. In addition to ISO 6060, other relevant standards include:

  • ASTM D1252: Standard Test Method for Chemical Oxygen Demand of Water (USA)
