Comprehensive Guide to SM 9270 Biofilm Bacterial Count in Piping Systems Laboratory Testing Service by Eurolab

SM 9270 Biofilm Bacterial Count in Piping Systems is a laboratory test that measures the presence and quantity of biofilms on the inner surfaces of piping systems. The standard for this test is governed by various international and national standards, including:

  • ISO 19458:2005 (Petroleum products -- Determination of bacterial count in fuel)

  • ASTM D6469-15 (Standard Test Method for Determining Bacterial Count in Fuel)

  • EN 1262 (Petroleum products -- Determination of bacterial count in fuel)

  • TSE 641:2011 (Turkish Standard for Petroleum Products -- Determination of bacterial count in fuel)

    • These standards provide guidelines for the collection, preparation, and analysis of samples to determine the presence and quantity of biofilms on piping surfaces.

    The legal and regulatory framework surrounding this testing service is primarily driven by industry-specific regulations and standards. For example:

  • The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) develops and publishes international standards for a wide range of industries.

  • The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) develops and publishes standards for materials, products, and services.

  • The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) develops and publishes standards for the European Union.
