ISO 8191 Measurement of Chemical Oxygen Demand in WastewaterISO 8191 Measurement of Chemical Oxygen Demand in Wastewater Testing Services
The measurement of chemical oxygen demand (COD) in wastewater is a critical parameter in evaluating the polluting potential of industrial effluents and municipal sewage. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has developed the ISO 8191 standard to provide guidelines for determining COD in wastewater samples. This article will provide an overview of the relevant standards, legal and regulatory framework, international and national standards, and standard development organizations.
International Standards
The ISO 8191 standard is part of a broader suite of standards related to water quality testing, including:
National Standards
National standards bodies, such as the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), European Committee for Standardization (CEN), Turkish Standards Institution (TSE), and others, have developed their own standards related to COD measurement. Some notable examples include:
Standard Development Organizations
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), and other standard development organizations play a crucial role in developing and updating standards related to COD measurement. These organizations ensure that standards are up-to-date, relevant, and aligned with industry needs.
Why ISO 8191 is Required
The measurement of COD in wastewater samples is essential for:
Failure to measure COD can lead to:
The ISO 8191 standard outlines the requirements for determining COD in wastewater samples. These include:
The ISO 8191 standard describes the closed reflux colorimetric method for determining COD. This involves:
