Comprehensive Guide to WHO Guidelines for Total Dissolved Solids in Water Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

The World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines for Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) in water are established to ensure the safety and quality of drinking water. These guidelines are based on international standards, including ISO, ASTM, EN, TSE, and others.

International Standards

  • ISO 17025:2005 - General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories
  • ISO 9001:2015 - Quality management systems - Requirements
  • ASTM D1067-15 - Standard Test Methods for pH and Color of Water
  • National Standards

  • EN ISO 7890-1:1998 - Water quality - Determination of dissolved substances in water using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS)
  • TSE EN ISO 10304-1:2004 - Water quality - Determination of dissolved anions by liquid chromatography of ions
  • Standard Development Organizations

    The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is a non-governmental organization that develops and publishes international standards. The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) is another prominent standard development organization.

    Evolution of Standards

    Standards are regularly reviewed and updated to reflect changes in technology, scientific knowledge, and regulatory requirements. This ensures that the testing service provided by Eurolab remains current and compliant with international and national regulations.
