In this section, we will delve into the relevant standards, legal and regulatory framework, and international and national standards applicable to ISO 7887 Water Sample Color Measurement for Quality Control testing.

Relevant Standards

ISO 7887:2011 (E) is the current edition of the standard, which provides detailed guidelines for measuring water sample color. This standard is based on the principles of tristimulus colorimetry and specifies the requirements for instrument calibration, sampling, and testing procedures.

Other relevant standards include:

  • ASTM D1209-17: Standard Test Method for Color of Liquids

  • EN 15975-1:2009A1:2013: Water quality - Determination of colour (using a spectrophotometer)

  • TSE 645:2015: Turkish Standard for Water Quality - Determination of Colour

    • Legal and Regulatory Framework

    The legal and regulatory framework surrounding ISO 7887 Water Sample Color Measurement for Quality Control testing is governed by various international and national regulations. For example:

  • The European Unions Drinking Water Directive (98/83/EC) sets out requirements for the quality of drinking water, including color.

  • The World Health Organization (WHO) Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality (2011) provides recommendations for safe levels of color in drinking water.

    • International and National Standards

    ISO 7887 is an international standard that has been adopted by many countries worldwide. However, national standards may also apply. For example:

  • In the United States, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates drinking water quality under the Safe Drinking Water Act.

  • In the European Union, drinking water quality is regulated under the Drinking Water Directive.

    • ... (rest of section)

    In this section, we will explain the principles of tristimulus colorimetry and the measurement procedures for ISO 7887 Water Sample Color Measurement for Quality Control testing.

    Principles of Tristimulus Colorimetry

    Tristimulus colorimetry is a technique used to measure the color of liquids. The principle behind this method involves:

    1. Illumination of the sample with three separate light sources (red, green, and blue)

    2. Measurement of the reflected or transmitted light intensity using a tristimulus colorimeter

    3. Calculation of the samples color parameters (CIE Lab system)

    Measurement Procedures

    The measurement procedures for ISO 7887 Water Sample Color Measurement for Quality Control testing involve:

    1. Sampling and preparation of water samples

    2. Instrument calibration and adjustment

    3. Measurement of water sample color using a tristimulus colorimeter

    Data Analysis and Reporting

    Once the measurements are completed, the data must be analyzed and reported in accordance with the relevant standards and regulations.
