ISO 10304-2 Chloride and Sulfate Determination Test in Water
The ISO 10304 series of standards provides methods for the determination of chloride and sulfate ions in water. This service focuses on the detailed analytical procedures outlined in part two, which is specifically designed to measure these critical parameters in aqueous samples.
Chloride and sulfate are key contaminants that can significantly impact environmental quality and public health. Chlorides contribute to soil acidification when they are released into aquatic systems through industrial or agricultural runoff, while sulfates can lead to eutrophication by promoting excessive algal growth in water bodies. Accurate measurement of these ions is crucial for compliance with regulatory standards and ensuring the safety of drinking water.
The testing process involves several critical steps: sample collection, preparation, and subsequent analysis using advanced spectroscopic techniques. Sample preparation includes filtering to remove particulates, dilution if necessary, and ensuring that the sample remains stable until analysis can be performed.
Instrumentation used in this service includes atomic absorption spectrophotometers for chloride determination and ion-selective electrodes for sulfate measurement. These tools provide precise and reliable results, adhering strictly to ISO 10304-2 guidelines.
The importance of this test cannot be overstated, especially in sectors such as environmental monitoring, public health, and water treatment. Compliance with regulatory bodies like the World Health Organization (WHO) and local agencies is essential for maintaining safe drinking water standards.
Our laboratory employs rigorous quality control measures to ensure accuracy and reliability of results. By leveraging ISO 10304-2, we provide accurate chloride and sulfate levels that are critical for decision-making processes in various industries.
