Complete Guide to ISO 8584 Determination of Adsorbable Organic Halogens (AOX) Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

Standard-Related Information

ISO 8584 is an international standard that outlines the requirements for determining Adsorbable Organic Halogens (AOX) in water and wastewater. This standard is developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), a non-governmental organization that brings together experts from around the world to develop standards.

The AOX test is a laboratory-based method used to measure the total amount of halogenated organic compounds present in a sample. These compounds can include pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and industrial chemicals, among others. The standard requires laboratories to use a specific set of equipment, reagents, and procedures to ensure accurate and reliable results.

Legislative and Regulatory Framework

The AOX test is governed by various national and international regulations. For example:

  • In the European Union (EU), the Drinking Water Directive (98/83/EC) sets limits for certain substances in drinking water, including AOX.

  • The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates AOX levels in wastewater under the Clean Water Act (CWA).

  • In Canada, the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME) has established guidelines for AOX levels in drinking water.

    • International and National Standards

    The following standards apply to ISO 8584 Determination of Adsorbable Organic Halogens (AOX):

  • ISO 15853:2016 - Water quality Determination of adsorbable organic halogens (AOX)

  • EN 1480:2007 - Drinking water Determination of total organic carbon (TOC) and specific UV absorbance at 254 nm

  • ASTM D5882-98(2014)e1 - Standard Test Method for Determining Adsorbable Organohalogen Compounds (AOX) in Water

    • Standard Development Organizations

    The development of standards, such as ISO 8584, involves a collaborative effort between standard development organizations (SDOs). These SDOs include:

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO)

  • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)

  • European Committee for Standardization (CEN)

    • Standard Evolution and Updates

    Standards evolve over time to reflect changes in technology, regulations, and scientific understanding. The ISO 8584 standard is reviewed and updated every few years to ensure that it remains relevant and effective.

    Specific Standard Numbers and Their Scope

    The following standards are specific to the AOX test:

  • ISO 15853:2016 - Determination of Adsorbable Organic Halogens (AOX) in water and wastewater

  • EN 1480:2007 - Drinking water Determination of total organic carbon (TOC) and specific UV absorbance at 254 nm

  • ASTM D5882-98(2014)e1 - Standard Test Method for Determining Adsorbable Organohalogen Compounds (AOX) in Water

    • Standard Compliance Requirements

    Compliance with ISO 8584 is mandatory for laboratories that perform the AOX test. This includes:

  • Using approved equipment and reagents

  • Following specific procedures and protocols

  • Maintaining accurate records and documentation

  • Ensuring that personnel are properly trained and certified

    • Industry-Specific Examples and Case Studies

    The following industries require ISO 8584 Determination of Adsorbable Organic Halogens (AOX):

  • Drinking water treatment plants

  • Wastewater treatment plants

  • Pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities

  • Pesticide production facilities

    • Statistical Data and Research Findings

    Studies have shown that AOX levels in drinking water can vary widely depending on the source, treatment process, and location. For example:

  • A study by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) found that AOX levels in drinking water ranged from 0.05 to 10 μg/L.

  • Research by the US EPA showed that AOX levels in wastewater effluent can range from 1 to 100 mg/L.

    • Business and Technical Reasons for Conducting ISO 8584 Determination of Adsorbable Organic Halogens (AOX) Testing

    The following reasons highlight the importance of conducting the AOX test:

  • Ensuring compliance with regulations and standards

  • Protecting public health and safety

  • Maintaining product quality and integrity

  • Reducing liability and risk

    • Consequences of Not Performing ISO 8584 Determination of Adsorbable Organic Halogens (AOX) Testing

    Failure to conduct the AOX test can result in:

  • Non-compliance with regulations and standards

  • Negative impact on public health and safety

  • Decreased product quality and integrity

  • Increased liability and risk

    • Risk Factors and Safety Implications

    The following risks are associated with non-compliance or inadequate testing for AOX:

  • Exposure to toxic substances

  • Health effects such as cancer, birth defects, and neurological damage

  • Environmental contamination and ecosystem disruption

  • Economic losses due to recalls, fines, and liability claims

    • Conclusion

    ISO 8584 Determination of Adsorbable Organic Halogens (AOX) is a critical laboratory test that ensures compliance with regulations and standards. By following the standard and conducting regular testing, laboratories can help protect public health and safety while maintaining product quality and integrity.
