ISO/TS 13530:2009 PDF Download

ISO/TS 13530:2009 is a standard that provides guidance on analytical quality control for chemical and physicochemical water analysis. It emphasizes the need for accuracy in producing reliable results within laboratory and between laboratories. This standard is applicable to all types of water analysis, excluding sludges and sediments.

The standard does not cover biological or microbiological examination of water, focusing solely on chemical and physicochemical aspects. While sampling is an important consideration, it is only briefly mentioned in the standard. The overall objective of ISO/TS 13530:2009 is to ensure that water analysis produces results with a known level of accuracy, enabling better decision-making based on the quality of water.
