BS ISO 5667-11:2009, BS 6068-6.11:2009

Comprehensive Water Quality Sampling Standard

BS ISO 5667-11:2009 is the essential standard for water quality sampling, providing detailed guidance to ensure reliable, representative samples are obtained for a wide range of environmental and health protection applications.

Ensure Accurate, Compliant Water Sampling

This British Standard, identical to ISO 5667-11:2009, specifies the requirements and provides recommendations for:• Sampling of groundwater, surface water and waste water• Sampling from drinking water distribution systems• Sampling from wells and boreholes• Sampling from water treatment worksThe standard covers all aspects of the water sampling process, from planning and preparation to sample handling, preservation and transportation. This ensures samples are collected, stored and delivered in a way that maintains their integrity and provides accurate, representative results.

Comprehensive Guidance for Reliable Water Quality Data

BS ISO 5667-11:2009 is an invaluable resource for anyone responsible for water quality monitoring and analysis, including:• Environmental regulators and agencies• Water utilities and treatment providers• Consultants and laboratories• Researchers and academicsKey topics covered by the standard include:• Sampling plan development• Sample site selection and access• Sampling equipment and containers• Field measurements and observations• Sample preservation techniques• Labelling, storage and transportation• Quality assurance and controlBy following the best practices outlined in this standard, you can have confidence that your water samples will provide reliable, representative data to support a wide range of applications, from environmental impact assessments to drinking water compliance.

Ensure Compliance and Environmental Protection

Adopting BS ISO 5667-11:2009 is essential for organisations that need to collect water samples for regulatory compliance or environmental monitoring purposes. The standard is widely referenced in legislation and guidelines, helping you demonstrate that your sampling procedures meet the necessary requirements.Some of the key compliance and environmental benefits of using this standard include:• Supports compliance with water quality regulations and directives• Ensures representative samples for accurate analysis and reporting• Minimises the risk of sample contamination or degradation• Provides a robust, defensible basis for environmental decisions• Helps protect public health and the natural environmentWhether you're sampling groundwater, surface water or drinking water, BS ISO 5667-11:2009 provides the comprehensive guidance you need to obtain reliable, compliant water quality data that supports your environmental and health protection objectives.
