ISO 5663 Preservation and Handling of Groundwater Samples
The ISO 5663 standard provides a robust framework for the proper preservation and handling of groundwater samples. This is crucial in ensuring accurate analysis results, which are essential for making informed decisions on environmental compliance, water quality management, and public health protection.
Waterborne contaminants can degrade over time if not properly preserved, leading to inaccurate test results that could mislead decision-makers. ISO 5663 addresses this by specifying methods for the collection, preservation, transport, and handling of groundwater samples. This ensures that the integrity of the sample is maintained from the point of sampling until final analysis.
The standard covers various aspects such as the selection of appropriate containers, the use of preservatives, and the timing of sample collection. It also outlines transportation protocols to minimize exposure to light, temperature fluctuations, and other environmental factors that could alter the chemical composition or microbial content of the samples.
For instance, certain metals can precipitate out if not properly preserved, while organic compounds may degrade or volatilize under adverse conditions. Proper handling ensures that these changes are minimized, allowing for accurate measurement and interpretation of results.
The standard also emphasizes the importance of documentation, including the time, location, and method of sampling. This information is critical in ensuring traceability and reproducibility of test results. Compliance with ISO 5663 helps laboratories meet regulatory requirements and gain credibility within their respective industries.
In summary, the preservation and handling of groundwater samples according to ISO 5663 ensure that the integrity of the sample is maintained throughout the testing process. This is vital for producing accurate and reliable results, which are essential for making informed decisions on environmental compliance, water quality management, and public health protection.
